Episode Synopsis

We often find ourselves in situations where decisions must be made. Many times, we start off on the right foot by praying and asking God for guidance, which is always a great beginning. However, inevitably, God’s opinion isn’t the only one we hear. If you’ve lived long enough, you’ve likely discovered that there’s always someone eager to share their opinion—whether it’s a family member, a friend, a co-worker, or even a complete stranger. Consider the story of David. God gave him clear direction, but his men advised him against following it. What’s worth noting here is that David didn’t even ask for their opinions, and his men weren’t bad people—they simply had a perspective that conflicted with God’s direction. The problem doesn’t necessarily arise from others sharing their thoughts or even from us asking for advice. Trouble begins when we prioritize what people say over what God has already spoken.
