Isaiah 41:28
For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
ISAIAH 41:28
God reads the situation: there was no counselor or wise adviser available when He asked for guidance. The absence underscores human frailty and the insufficiency of human resources apart from God. It also highlights the need for divine direction in times of crisis and decision.
This verse reinforces God’s supremacy as the true source of wisdom. It critiques reliance on human councils that fail to grasp God’s plan and invites a posture of dependence on Him. It also anticipates the coming presence of God’s Spirit to guide His people.
In moments of uncertainty, turn to prayer, Scripture, and godly counsel rather than leaning on fallible human schemes. Build a practice of seeking God first in decisions—whether large life choices or everyday errands—so you align with His wisdom rather than your own calculations.
