Theological / Devotional

Counsel of the Lord. Sinful men and fallen angels may devise countless schemes to prevent the Lord from carrying out His eternal purposes; nevertheless the counsels of God will be accomplished and the universe eventually cleansed from both sin and sinners. God expects His servants to submit their plans to His overruling providence (Prov. 16:9; Isa. 46: 10; James 1:17).
