Guidance...better late than never
Sorry for the delay/lateness of the post. Par for the course this week...
Anyway - guidance. It's helping others listen to the voice of God. Interesting definition isn't it?
Is that different than what you were thinking? How so?
Is it freeing or more burdensome to think that YOU don't have to fix people?
In my life group last night, we look at Saul's life - starting in 1 Samuel 12. It's pretty fascinating. It's worth the browse as a life group, walking through Saul's life until chapter 28.
In 1 Samuel 28, a couple of things really pinged in me...
What other questions/insights do you have?

Saul's consistent 'half-obedience' and 'spin-doctoring.' He's got an excuse for every mistake and someone else to blame. Until it is too late. Do I do that? How? Who are my normal victims of blame?
Saul's life is picture in the extremes of God - his wrath and his grace.
What is my witch of Endor that I run to when God is silent?
How do I normally listen to God?
What helps me in listening - do I internalize? Do I write? Talk out loud? Process with someone else?
What other disciplines cross-over and could help us in guidance?
How open am I to questions from other people when it comes to the decisions I make?
How much influence should other people have in my decisions?
What other questions/insights do you have?
