Read: Proverbs 13:20
God will often communicate His will and wisdom to you through other followers! I can’t even begin to count the times God has used another believer to get a message through to my heart! I hear His whispers through a pastor, a podcast, my wife, my friends, my children, a blog, or someone in my small group. I actually view them as my Spiritual Advisory Team.
How about you? Do you seek out and listen openly to other believers you respect? Staying consistently connected with other Christians (especially those who are growing and grounded in God’s Word) is vital for your own personal faith journey. Listening to them is not enough, though. Do you often apply or put into practice the advice or wisdom you’ve heard?
Wise up and remain involved in Christian community! Listen to your faith-family. We need them, and they need you. Today’s reading from Proverbs 18:2 tells us frankly it’s a mistake to be a “know-it-all.”
Personally, I don’t want to play the fool. I need help. I need wisdom. I need to choose to remain humble and teachable so I can hear God’s direction, correction, and affection. I need my heart to remain humble and teachable—because God will often speak to us through His other children.
