    Seek God’s Guidance

    While these instructions pointed out the course that should be taken, Satan was busy in “perverting” the work, as stated in the Review of Aug. 7, 1894: “The people of God have educated themselves in such a way that they have come to look to those in positions of trust as guardians of truth, and have placed men where God should be. When perplexities have come upon them, instead of seeking God, they have gone to human sources for help, and have received only such help as man can give.... It is a mistake to make men believe that the workers for Christ should make no move save that which has first been brought before some responsible men. Men must not be educated to look to men as to God. While it is necessary that be a counseling together and a unity of action among the laborers, one man’s mind and one man’s judgment must not be the controlling power.COOD 147.1

    “Every true follower of Christ has some work to do for him, for which he is responsible to his own master, and that work he is expected to do with fidelity, waiting for command and direction from his leaders.... The president of the conference is not do do the thinking for all the people. He has not an immortal brain, but has capabilities and powers like any other man. And to every man God has given his work.”COOD 147.2
