Remember
Your Leaders
Who
Taught
You The Word Of God.
Scripture
Hebrews
13
7 Remember
your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good
that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their
faith.
Observation
Dr.
Waylon B. Moore, Dr. Charles Hartwig, Paul Burleson, Hugh Roberts and
one of my Seminary Professors, Oscar Thompson, these are some of the
men whose leadership has impacted and changed my life.
Our
present leadership team at our church would also be on my list.
Some
godly women in my life would have to include Clemmie Moore (she was
always encouraging me), Patsy Hartwig, Millie Roberts, Audrey
(Hockett) Puckett, Hannah Williams (my granny), and Linda Renner.
I
could list quite a few more men and women, but I don't want to
completely bore you.
Who
would you put on your list?
Take
a minute and give thanks for the leaders that God has placed in your
life!
Let
me remind all of us that no matter how godly a leader is … they are
not perfect. All of us are flawed. We are all sinners. Even those who
lead us are far from perfect.
You
and I must keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Lets
both imitate and be thankful for those good examples that God has
placed in our lives.
Application
I
am taking time this morning to remember all of the godly men and
women that God has placed in my life.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, as I think of all the godly people that You have placed in my
life over all of these years I am filled and overwhelmed with
gratitude. I am so grateful for them. I am so glad that You brought
them into my life. Bless them, Lord. Help me to be an example to
those who are in my life right now. Don't let me be a stumbling block
to them. Keep me away from stupid sins that would mess up my life and
that would hurt my witness and that would destroy my testimony. Help
me live a godly life.
Matthew
5:16
16 Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
