Who’s Your Mentor?

Do you have a mentor?

If we’re not intentionally being mentored, the world will do it for us. We need Christian mentors to thrive in our broken society. Scripture reveals that Jethro mentored Moses, and then Moses mentored Joshua. Elijah mentored Elisha, and Jesus mentored his disciples. We all need someone who will invest in our lives.

To find a capable mentor, do a quick inventory by answering a few questions: Who do you know who could offer you godly advice? Do they have a solid reputation? Do they come recommended to you? Consider those you trust and admire, and don’t rule out family members. Ask if they’d be willing to meet and share their wisdom with you on a regular basis. Let them know your motives and expectations. Ask trusted friends for recommendations. Would your pastor or church friends know someone willing to come alongside you? Anyone in your line of work who might be willing to share? How about a coach or a teacher?

Pray and ask the Lord to bring the right person into your life. Until you have a trusted mentor in place, I suggest that you read…a lot! Make the Bible a letter of instruction from your loving Savior. Treasure it, read it, listen to it, and memorize portions of it. Allow it to transform you from the inside out. In addition, study great biographies and Christian material on personal finances and spiritual growth. Your goal is to become a faithful steward of every area of your life.
