There are some who will offer advice about anything and everything.
I have always been surprised how eager some are to tell others how to solve problems. I am equally surprised how often Christians slam each other with truisms instead of waiting carefully for wisdom.
Those who have walked with the Lord are quick to pray and slow to craft someone else's life.
We must always be available to pray with each other. We must be available to encourage each other in the Word. There are , however, times when it is not possible to determine what God is doing in another's life. It is an interesting balance, because no one reaches sagedom. The helper and the helpee are both needy and must depend on Lord.
Like the rest of life, we follow the Lord in this as well. We look for Him and we wait for Him. When asked, and sometimes when not asked, we are ready with God's Word.
The situation is not the balance.
He is the balance.
