'...He will give you another...Counsellor.' John 14:16 AMP
In the Bible, Solomon lists 28 different seasons in life. Here they are: ‘A
time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a
time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve
and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather
stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a
time to stop searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time
to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A
time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.’ (Ecclesiastes 3:2–8 NLT)God determines each of your life’s seasons. The Psalmist said, ‘My times are in Your hands…’ (Psalm 31:15 AMP) So what should you do when you enter a new season of life? Reach for the Holy Spirit’s help because He’s a ‘Counsellor’. Jesus told His disciples, ‘I will ask the Father, and He will give you another…Counsellor…to be with you forever.’ (John 14:16 AMP) When you need an advisor because you’re not sure what to do or which way to go, the Holy Spirit is available to guide you. That means you must be sensitive when He highlights a particular Scripture you’re reading, or plants a persistent thought or idea in your mind that won’t go away, or speaks to you through a friend. You’re not alone, unless you want to be. Just consult the ‘Counsellor’ within you.
