We all remember the game show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”. We also remember that a player had three lifelines they could rely on to help them come up with the correct answer if they needed clarification on what it was. They could “phone a friend,” “ask the audience,” or take the “50/50,” which took away two wrong answers, only leaving the correct answer and one wrong answer.
For a game show, those are good lifelines to have. But we have the ultimate lifeline, which will always provide us with the best advice and answers. We have that when we seek God’s guidance about any issue.
While growing up, I trusted my earthly father, teachers, and friends for advice. And though getting advice from experts and loved ones is not necessarily bad, it’s best to put the final say in God’s hands.
“Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.” Psalm 119:66 | ESV
