Ron: Have you ever tried to give advice to someone blinded by their own desire? Yeah, it’s pretty much pointless.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: When we really want something, we get blind. Others on the outside can see plainly, what we cannot. They try to help us but we just can’t see it. Proverbs 12:15 says, “A wise man listens to advice, but a fool follows his own way.” You know, even good things if held on too tightly, can turn us into fools.

Do you know what makes you foolish to the wisdom of others, or Scripture? Is it love, or selfishness, or the desire to be liked? What is your blind spot? To avoid foolishness and regret it might be worth a second look.

For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
