There are so many times that we want to hear the Lord speaking into our lives…..so many times when we need direction.

 

And yet…..we don’t listen.

 

Proverbs 27 Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

 

What should we do when someone we love says something that we don’t like?  

 

We should listen.  

 

It might be the very thing that God is trying to tell us.  It might be the very thing that we need to hear.

 

And what should we do when someone who has no part in loving us tells us things?…..we should proceed with caution.

 

It is an age-old proverb and yet it is one that is as important today as it was the day that it was written.

 

So many times in life we seek counsel from someone so that they can tell us what we want to hear.  We want to confirm our position or solidify our stance or get encouragement as we head down a prideful path…..

 

But what we really need is to be told the truth……and the truth sometimes hurts…or disagrees…or is not what we want to hear.

 

Who is the person in your life that God has put in place to advise and support?  Who is the person who is connected to the Lord with wisdom and has nothing to gain from your position?

 

That is the voice of God in your life.  He has put them there to keep you on track and to help you seek counsel.

 

So pray.

And read the word.

And seek counsel.

 

But do not stray from the words of those He has placed in your life to give you the wisdom that you truly need.

 

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
