When you are in need of someone to talk to, who do you call first?

When your kids are driving you crazy and you just need to speak to someone to give you advise, who do you call first?  You mom?  Your spouse?  Your best friend (who does not even have kids)?  Who do you call?

When you are late for work, and know that if you are late one more time, this could be it, who do you call first for advise?  You fellow employee (who is at work already)?  Your mom?  Your spouse?  Unemployment, just in case?, Who do you call?

When your wife, or girlfriend wants nothing else to do with you, who do you call first?  Your divorced friend for advise?  Your mom?  Your boss?  Your ex-girlfriend to see what she is doing on Friday night? Who do you call?

I can go on and on.  Let’s think deeply about these questions.  I am not trying to get the “Super Spiritual” answers to these questions.  I am looking for you to personally answer these and so many similar questions honesty.  Then look back and see where that advise got you. 

Your kids probably still drove you crazy, you were still fired for being late for the 16th time this month, and your ex-girlfriend called you a DOGG and hung up on you.

If we prioritize the time we spend looking for “man’s” advise, and spend most of that time on our knees asking God for advise, I think those results could be different. 

The kids come around and apologize and clean the house without being asked and you are perplexed.  Your boss negotiated a later time for you to come to work because he saw the value of you as an employee.  Your wife calmed down, suggested Biblical counseling and your marriage has never been better.

Does the last three sentences seem like fantasy?  It is not.  It is us trusting God to do His job instead of us trying to fix it.

To God Be ALL of The Glory
