Today is August 22, 2026
God has his own Calendar
Today is the 6 month called Elul, day 8
Elul, seems like it is the name of the sixth month by the two verses below:
Neh.6 [15]
So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
Neh.7[73]
So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
Today’s Topic
The counsel of God
Which counsel are you hearing?
Counsel of God
or false counsel?
Prov.11[14]
Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellers there is safety.
Prov.12[20]
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellers of peace is joy.
Prov.15[22]
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellers they are established.
Prov.24[6]
For by wise counsel you shalt make your war: and in multitude of counselors there is safety.
[34] For who hath known the mind of Yehovah?
or who hath been his counselor?
Prov.12[5]
The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
[15] The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
[20] Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellers of peace is joy.
[22] Without counsel purposes are disappointed:
but in the multitude of counsellers they are established.
Prov.19[20]
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you mayest be wise in your latter end.
[21] There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of Yehovah, that shall stand.
Prov.20[5]
Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
[18] Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
Prov.21[30]
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Yehovah.
Prov.22[20]
Have not I written to you excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that you might answer the words of truth to them that send unto you?
Prov.24[6]
For by wise counsel you shalt make your war: and in multitude of counsellers there is safety.
Prov.27[9]
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
[2] And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
[3] That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
[4] Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve you.
[5] And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
[6] And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do you advise that I may answer this people?
[7] And they spoke unto him, saying, If you wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever.
[8] But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
[9] And he said unto them,
What counsel give you that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying,
Make the yoke which your father did put upon us lighter?
[10] And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying,
Thus shall you speak unto this people that spoke unto you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy,
but make you it lighter unto us; thus shall you say unto them,
My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
[11] And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips,
but I will chastise you with scorpions.
[12] So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
[13] And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
[14] And spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
[15] Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from Yehovah, that he might perform his saying, which Yehovah spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Jer.23 [18]
For who hath stood in the counsel of Yehovah,
[19] Behold, a whirlwind of Yehovah is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
In closing for today,
Always good to get counsel from God
Shabbat Shalom
