In today's selection from Devotional Classics (edited by Foster and Smith), St. Francis had been called by God into a life of devotion to Christ, but he was experiencing angst as to what that call entailed...whether he was to give himself to continual prayer or to preach publicly. The text says, "He wanted very much to know which of these would please our Lord Jesus Christ most. And as the holy humility that was in him did not allow him to trust in himself or in his own prayers, he humbly turned to others in order to know God's will in this matter."
Oh the goodness of God through His fellowship of followers. I'm grateful today for all of the spiritual friends God has given me who offer to listen to my life and who provide counsel that helps me develop character and discern at the crossroads. My life is so much richer because of these friends! Can you think of a few friends who help you to better know God and God's will?
