How much do you trust what others see? In offensive football, ten guys have to trust one guy to see what they need to see in order to execute the play as a unit. Many times a quarterback will look out across the heads of his offensive linemen to the secondary of the defense and see either a problem or an opportunity.

Quarterbacks love man-to-man coverage because in one-on-one situations, they can simply communicate a word or a hand signal to their receiver and change the play. In week two of the 2015 season, Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick used a hand signal to communicate with wide receiver Brandon Marshall to check out of a play into a fade route. That play went for six points and was crucial in the Jets’ win over the Colts on Monday Night Football.

Do you trust what others see? If so, do you allow them to redirect you so that you can score? A good friend won’t hesitate to speak words of counsel to you. If you live long enough, you will find yourself in situations where the problem you are facing exceeds your experience. When this takes place, you must have advisers, friends, or trusted confidants who will share from their experience and give you the necessary principles to navigate the choppy waters. Will you trust what they see?

Proverbs 25:11 states, “Timely advice is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket.” Learn to trust what others see and allow them the freedom to speak into your life. When you do, you will find that it is a game changer!

Timely advice is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket.
