the famine was severe. But Isaac had counsel from
within. He had been told by the Lord, “Stay in this
land...and I will be with you and bless you” (Genesis
26:2-3a TEV). So in the midst of severe famine and
drought, “Isaac sowed in that land, and received
in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord
blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went
forward, and grew until he became very great:
(Genesis 26:12-13). Isaac had a miracle-producing
Counsellor!
Counsel such as those illustrated in this
chapter all had to have come from the mouth of
God; otherwise, they would have failed woefully
and resulted in utter disaster! However, this is the
Spirit of counsel at work. Isaiah calls Him your
Wonderful Counsellor. He is your miracle-
producing Counsellor, your Extraordinary
Strategist. When He tells you to do something, it
may sound illogical, but it’s miracle-producing
counsel. That’s what makes it wonderful; that’s
why it’s a miracle when such counsel brings forth
outstanding results.
