June 13: His Counsel Stands Forever

Scripture:
“The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.”
— Psalm 33:11 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God’s guidance is eternal and trustworthy.
  2. His counsel does not change with culture or time.
  3. God’s plans flow from His heart of love.
  4. Every generation can trust His unchanging direction.
  5. Walking in His counsel gives stability in a shifting world.

Poem: The Word That Does Not Fade

The world redraws its maps each day.
The winds rewrite the rules of men.
But your counsel stands firm and full.
Your voice holds steady across the ages.
Your promises hold the weight of time.

Generations chase new ideas.
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall.
But your Word roots itself deeper still.
Your plans stretch across the dust of years.
Your heart beats through the shifting sands.

I plant my feet where you speak.
I anchor my hope in your ways.
The storms cannot unmake your will.
The fires cannot consume your truth.
The floods cannot erase your name.

When I falter at tomorrow’s edge,
Your counsel steadies my next breath.
When the noise rises around my fears,
Your Word sings louder than the storm.
You guide because you are unchanging.

I will listen when the world forgets.
I will stay when the crowds scatter.
Your counsel will still be standing.
Your voice will still be calling.
Your heart will still be for me.
