“The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.” - Psalm 33:10–11 (ESV)
As each election period approaches, wherever we are, we begin to hear all that the candidates say they plan to do for the people. It always sounds so good to some and to others it may sound like the end of the world. Each government promises to develop good plans for the advancement of their nation, country, state, province, city, village, tribe and so forth. But we learn from our passage here that the only plans that will last for all generations are the ones that God has made and promises that they are from His heart. The plans the people make will be frustrated as they always are, and the deliberations of the leaders of the nations even when gathered together in counsel will come to nothing. For that reason, God calls it wisdom to not trust what your politicians promise. Instead, we are called to trust in the promises of the Lord whose counsel stands forever. For they come from His heart and benefit generations after generation.
