From the biblical perspective, the job of Prophet was about the worst one imaginable. Just think about it for a minute: You are responsible to God for delivering a message that, at best, most people did not want to receive, and at worst, they would beat you for forcing upon them. Their messages usually involved calling the people to faithfulness, as well as God's consequences for their failure to follow God's word. Not a popular position to be in, caught between God and your neighbors. The reward for the prophet was in the hereafter, not much in the here and now. So, what do you think? Are you ready to send in your application to be one of God's Prophets?
Have you ever met anyone during your life who seemed to speak with the voice of a Prophet? Someone who had a knack for cutting through all of the "stuff" and zeroing in on the real issue? What was your opinion of them?
Engaging the scriptures with you,
Pastor Paul
