Solving problems

Each of us have had and will have problems to solve. That is part of life and regardless how hard one my try not to have a problem one will arise all on it's own. One of the keys in solving a problem is talking to the right person. I was having a problem with my DSL connection and it seemed to be getting worse so I called AT&T. After going through the automated voices prompts I was able to talk to a live person who did some tests and after completing what he could do transferred the issue to another department. They called me and after more testing and talking the person was able to solve my problem. The problem was not solved right away because it took a bit to talk to the right person but the key was talking to the right person. Let's apply that to a spiritual problem. If someone has a spiritual concern it is vital to talk to the right person because just about everyone has an opinion on spiritual issues and unfortunately many of them are well meaning but inadequate of being able to solve spiritual problems. Ultimately God is the right person to solve your spiritual problem but many people have not yet learned how to listen to Him so God will often use a spiritual mature person to help you. The key aspects of this spiritually mature person are that they must have a well rounded balance understanding of the whole Bible, they must possess spiritual discernment and understanding, they ought to be a good listener and this person will need to be sensitive to the things of God. Let us be aware that I will not ask a mechanic advice on a dental issue nor should I ask advice of just anyone concerning a spiritual issue. Let us be wise in who we get our advice from, in doing that we will be able to solve more of our problems. God bless you.
