Guidance

 When do we follow it?

Guidance is something that
we sometimes need in
our lives, or at times it can
also be needed often.

With guidance though there
is always that question,
do we ever follow the guidance
that is provided by others?

Firstly though, there is also
another thought with 
guidance and that is 
do we always seek it 
when we think
that we need it?

But also do we look for 
guidance when
we, without question
should seek it.

Sometimes when we know 
that guidance is needed
within our lives, in 
whatever when it may be 
required, there can be obstacles.

One of the main obstacles 
to us receiving this guidance 
is ourselves, and our admission 
that we need it, and 
so our pride can get 
in the way of both 
seeking and accepting 
guidance from others. 

As Christians we know that 
in our lives, guidance 
is something that very often
we need, as within our part
within the life of the church 
we can at times need this. 

But also within our lives 
as Christians we sometimes 
need guidance in so many 
different ways and areas.

Yet again though, 
pride can get in the way of 
us seeking and accepting 
any guidance from others. 

With guidance we should always 
be willing to let go of self 
and at least seek and listen to 
the guidance of others. 

Following this we should 
weigh the guidance carefully 
in relation to what we 
believe and also most 
definitely from the bible. 

Also from this we should 
understand that we ourselves 
should seek the guidance 
through the written 
Word Of God. 

With that also prayer is 
needed and necessary, 
as the two go hand in hand. 

At the same time, though 
we may not realise it, others
within the church may have
been through similar things 
and God can use their experience 
or our experiences for others. 

So with guidance, never be 
too proud to listen or 
stubborn to accept. also do not
be too afraid to also give 
others the guidance that 
they may need.

Listening

 Do people always listen?  One thing that is certain is that people want to be heard. We all want people to listen to what we have to say, whether they are someone that we know well or not. There can of course be many different topics of conversation,  dependant upon your listeners one subject may be more interesting than another to some. But sometimes when an individual is talking, they can tell that the one they are speaking to is not really listening. It could be that they may have other things upon their minds at that time or it could be that they just are not interested in what is said. Within the Church though, can this or does this happen?  When we speak to other Christians within the Church to which we belong, we should expect them to listen. Also we should also ourselves be prepared to listen to  what people say, it may be that they have a need of either advice or just some...

Something New

 Do you try anything new?  When a thing is new, it holds interest and can catch the attention of many. Whereas, when something is not new it needs sometimes a new way of doing it, something that will catch peoples' attention once again. What new things catch your attention? This can  be different for many people, a s people have different  interests, likes and dislikes. For some it can be a new car, for others it can be a new house, or possibly  for some it could be a new job. It may also be a new type of food which you have never tasted before, or a new hobby. Perhaps a new television or computer that comes out catches your attention, o r a new film or song that has been released.  Within the Church there can be new things, but also sometimes it can appear that there has not been anything new for some time. It is of course important to bring new things and ideas into the Chu...

Commands

How many commands have you broken? There possibly are quite a  few commands which we have received within our lives. Some of the commands which we may have received though we may not quite take  as a command, or understand that it was  an actual command. In peoples' careers or places of employment, sometimes a command is given to an employee and it may not be seen as such or taken as a request  or suggestion. There are also those who are in authority, such as  politicians or those within the military who also give commands, but these expect to be obeyed. Which of course they  should be, and unless the individual wishes to be reprimanded in  some way, their commands  are followed. Why though within the Church do some not  then follow the same  example, as for example soldiers who follow their commanding officers' commands as they are given. This of course...
