The Names of GodWonderful Counselor

Welcome to week 38 of The Names of God series where we are meditating on Wonderful Counselor. Wonderful in this context means “incomprehensible” or “completely beyond understanding” and that is the response to many of Jesus’ actions and teachings.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
- Isaiah 9:6 NASB 1995

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And the cleverness of the clever I will set aside.”
- 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 NASB 1995

This also comes from the Lord of hosts,
Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.
- Isaiah 28:29 NASB 1995

We also read from Mark 1:21-22, Colossians 2:2-3, and Proverbs 3:5-7.

Are you relying on the wisdom of God, or of the wisdom of this world? May God be your Wonderful Counselor; the one you turn to for wisdom and instruction.
