In a society in which we’re celebrated for being independent, taking advice is hard, but we must do so for our own spiritual growth. After all, when Jesus left, his disciples still needed instruction, even though Jesus had spent many years with them. They needed to be reminded that the coming of the Lord’s kingdom is not about restoring Israel’s glory, and they needed to be pushed to spread the good news not just with the locals, but with the world. That’s why Jesus left us all with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, let’s pay attention to the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, hearken to the areas in which He corrects us and the areas in which He pushes us despite our discomfort, and as a result draw closer to His will.
