I am quick to take advice becuase I think the person is godly and "has it all together" ( which we know not anyone does!) rather than really stopping and pondering and praying to God to see if it's even what He would have me do. I guess that is why is so important to measure everything against His Word as our Plumbline. In my mind, I always want to do this, but in reality I lack the discipline to pray as often as I should. It reminds me of a story of an 86 year old man who had knee surgery because he had been on his knees praying hour after hour every day, wearing his poor knees out. Praying that often and being that in tune with God surely would help us trust in God and not man. These are great words to live by.
