God Speaks Through a Friend

From the Sept. 18th In Touch devotional (www.InTouch.org):

'When we're not listening for the Lord's voice, He will often send a message through someone else. In 1 Samuel 3:1-10, for example, young Samuel is confused about what is happening. He hears a person speaking but doesn't recognize it as the voice of God. However, his mentor - Eli, the priest - discerns that the Father was calling, so he tells the boy what to do when the Lord speaks again....

When we're going off course, the Lord will sometimes speak through other believers to reach us. Therefore, it is vital to maintain a close network of godly men and women we can trust.'

Winners pray for wisdom, and surround themselves with wise Christ-centered counselors/advisors.
