The Lord often speaks to us through the words of family and friends. Our pride would prefer that He speak to us, as important as we are, with an audible voice. That is exceedingly rare. He speaks His wisdom to us from unlikely sources and through unlikely persons. We must not despise the message because of its source. Even those who have been called “radical” may have the word we need to hear. Even great sinners and heretics have been known to speak God’s truth.
Father, enable us to humbly receive and honor Your truth, regardless of its source. May we never despise truth because we do not like the channel through which it is delivered. Amen!
From the book, “Captives of Love”, by H. Lamar Smith
