• “But the misfortune is that people wish to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him. We wish to take the lead, and to follow in a way of their own selection instead of submissively and passively following where God sees fit to conduct them. And hence it is, that many souls who are called to the enjoyment of God himself and mot merely to the gifts of God, spend all their lives in pursuing and in feeding on little consolations.” – Madame Guyon

Getting Input by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 08/19/11

(Phone being dialed)

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: We have different levels of intimacy with different people. Most are more like acquaintances, but some are intimate friends.

Nancy: (talking on the phone) One of the things I value most in my closest friends is being able to pick up the phone and get their advice.

NancyI’ve asked for guidance on things from water softeners to insurance coverage, from hiring staff to scheduling conferences. I’m so thankful for those wise, close friends.

Did you know that God wants to be an intimate friend to you? He wants you to come to Him with your deepest concerns and most honest questions.

James wrote, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”

Do you need wisdom today? Why not spend some time asking God for help and opening the Bible for counsel? You can’t find better advice anywhere.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
