CHOOSING THE RIGHT PEOPLE

#1, Choose someone who has nothing to lose by telling the truth.

#2. Choose someone who is where you want to be in life

#3. Choose more than one person.

#4, Choose someone you know, and someone you don’t.

#5, Go into these conversations sensitive to the possibility that God may speak to you.

ASK:

#1: Are any of the options I’m considering outside the boundaries of Scripture?

#2. What do you think is the wise thing for me to do?

#3, What would you do if you were me?

Two reasons we don’t do this:

#1, Pride

#2, we’ve already made up our minds

God is willing to speak through the people He’s put around us
