"...I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more." -Psalm 71:14, NLT
Winston Churchill, as well known for his wit and wisdom as he is for successfully leading Great Britain through World War II, once said about a colleague, "In those days he was wiser than he is now; he used to frequently take my advice."
Seeking advice from those older, wiser, or more experienced is always a smart tactic when confronting any obstacle in our lives. Not to do so sets us up for unnecessary failures and having to learn the hard way. God has designed our lives so that we must be dependent on others, just as we are dependent on him.
Prayer: When I encounter a problem, Lord, bring people into my life to help me. Help me, also, to help others with the wisdom you have given me. Thank you for designing me to need others, just as I need you every day. Amen.
Reflection: What comes to mind when you think about depending on another during a time of great challenge? What have you learned from another person that you can use to help others?
