Once your heart runs to man, in place of our Savior, it will only get more comfortable to depend on a person or object than the Lord. It may be a pastor, author, co-worker, or a friend that you may run to rather than the One who dwells in you. Although these relationships with godly people are healthy, take what they say and go to God’s word to see if it matches with His counsel. If we are not taking people’s advice to the word of God, then you might be putting your hope in many unseen woes as you have silenced the abundant redemption you have in Jesus. He hears your prayers, “Thus says the LORD: “In an acceptable time I have heard You, and in the day of salvation I have helped You…” (Isaiah 49:8). Before coming to Jesus, we could not truly pray, now in Christ, He hears you just as the Father hears the Son. Jesus told the disciples, “for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God” (John 16:27). Do not fall from the grace of God, but by faith, trust in His relationship as He has abundant redemption in your life!
