Many people speak as if they have authority. Our leaders think that they know the way that we should go. Counselors and advisors tell us what we should do. Even so called “influencers” don’t hesitate to tell us how we should live. Most speak out of experience and some education. But very few, if any, speak out of a life well lived.
I Samuel 9:6 says, “But he said to him, ‘Behold, there is a man of God in this city, and he is a man who is held in honor; all that he says comes true. So now let us go there. Perhaps he can tell us the way we should go.” What a wonderful statement to say about anyone! I want people to say that I am a man of God who is held in honor and what I say is true. I want my words to be able to help people know the way that they should go. What about you?
