Whilst out cycling the other morning a couple drove past me, slowed up and asked me for some directions to a particular venue. They had to proceed to the traffic circle and turn left, which is what I told them...only once they were out of sight did I realize that I forgot about another traffic circle which is before the one I told them about. It was at this traffic circle that they turned left (the wrong one), just like I told them to, the road I sent them on was a 4x4 dirt track that the local farmers use, it had been raining and the road was rather "muddy", and they were driving a luxury BMW, not a car made for this type of road! I had to laugh as I cycled past the dirt road. I hope that poor couple found their destination in the end, but it got me thinking.
A good lesson can be learnt here...make sure you go to the right place when looking for advice, make sure your guide knows where he's going. Go to the right source when looking for guidance. Jesus is that source! So often we go to our friends when we want some advice, they mean well (just as I did with that couple), but they are probably sending you in the wrong direction.
When you need help...ask the right person and that person is Jesus!
