Welcome! I’m so glad you’ve joined me.


Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:32 b NKJV)

His secret counsel is with the upright. (Proverbs 3:32 b NKJV)

These passages from the Bible advise us to lean on God, and not upon our own understanding of our situation and circumstances. Why should we lean upon God? Because His secret counsel is FOR the upright!!

How do we obtain God’s secret counsel? We seek Him; we meditate upon His Word; and we invite Him to speak to us in the quiet of our hearts and thoughts. Open yourself to God’s voice, and He will speak clearly to you. Open your heart and your spiritual ears.

Secret counsel is especially designed for the person who needs it most. It’s a secret because it’s something that must be sought and pursued—yearned for. When we hunger for God’s solution and seek His face, He is pleased and will respond to us rapidly! He will be found by us! (1 Chron. 28:9b; 2 Chron. 15:2b; Proverbs 7:15)

The Lord loves to deliver His people! (1 Sam. 17:37; 23:4; 2 Kings 3:18; Psalm 18:2, 19, 48; Psalm 22:4; 34:4; Colossians 1:13)
