Seek God First

I once heard an Elder say that we give people too much access to ourselves.  Instead of seeking the Lord about our deepest concerns or issues, we seek man.  In other words, we put man in the place of God.  When we reveal our deepest fears, doubts, etc., we are giving man control over us.  Their response to our issues may cause us to stumble and fall out of the will of God.  People may mean well in their response, however, they don’t know you like God knows you. 

Am I saying that we should never confide in anyone?  No, but always check with your heavenly Father.  If their input doesn’t line up with the word of God or what God has spoken to you, go with God.
