The Lord's Counsel Stands Forever

KJV: Psalms Chapter 33

[11] The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. [12] Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 


20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.  21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.  22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
I love the fact that the Lord is dependable.  His counsel stands forever.  It will not change.  We can read His Word and know that what He says is what He means and it will not change.  We don't have to wonder if He might change His mind on us like those who trust in modern day prophets and modern day revelations do.  He is not going to tell us one thing and then some time later change His mind on it.  His revelation is given and complete. It contains everything we need for salvation and Christian living.

His mercy is on those who fear Him and trust in His name.  We don't need to fear the "prophets" of today and what they say.  We only need to fear the Lord and trust in Him.  He is the one we have to do with. It is His mercy that we need to save our souls, not these others who try to take His place.
