Psa. 81:12 God says: I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

It would be terrible to have to seek the counsel of humans.  And it would also be dreadful to try to figure out what to do based on our own reasonings.

 

We are blessed above all others for we have access to the wisdom from God.

 

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

 

And God watches over us and leads us by the Holy Spirit who dwells in each believer.

 

John 14:26  Jesus says:  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

 

In the Old Testament, the children of Israel are examples for they fought against God and did not prosper.

 

Psalm 81

 

10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 But MY people would not hearken to MY voice; and Israel would none of ME.

12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.

13 Oh that MY people had hearkened unto ME, and Israel had walked in MY ways!

14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned My hand against their adversaries.

15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto HIM: but their time should have endured for ever.

16 HE should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
