Advisor

O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
“Or who has given a gift to him, to receive a gift in return?”
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen. (Romans 11:33-36, NRSV)

We all want to serve God, only God does not need any advisors. He is the one who should be advising us, as Paul tells the Romans.

We do not know the mind of God, and we have not given Him anything that He has not already given to us. We are the stewards of His many wonders He has given to us. We can not give Him anything that He has not given to us first to take care of.

But don’t we all play God’s advisor or counselor. We all want to do God’s will and be a part of His mission, but only on our terms and in our way. But when God calls we are to come and follow, to take up our cross and give up our ways. We need to do what God tells us and not tell Him what we want to do, or change His plans to meet our needs. His plan is perfect the way it is and our input is not needed. We are not advisors or counselors but followers…
