Applying the counsel of The Almighty to my life resulted in repentance. Repentance created a change that brought clarity to purpose. Clarity of purpose designed my goals and vision. My vision supplied direction to accomplish purpose.
Is 46:10 “…My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure.”
The word purpose in verse 10 is the Hebrew word “ya’atz” from the root “etsa.” It means counsel, purpose, advise, or plan.
Elohim’s counsel, purpose, and plan guided my heart as I read and applied His word. His word (counsel) brought clarity to my life’s purpose. His purpose became my purpose. My once self-purposed ambitions were replaced with His divine plan.
Do you want His counsel at work in your heart revealing your purpose?
Psa. 73:21-24 “…When my heart was embittered and I was pierced within, then I was senseless and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. Nevertheless, I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. With Your counsel ( etsa , purpose) You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory.”
