A Few Good Men!

“Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens”(Exodus 18:21). “There is no greater art in the world than to develop the latent capacities of those around us by yoking them to useful service” (F.B. Meyer). Second Timothy 2:2 is a good biblical example of that principle.

Among those with whom we would do well to be yoked are: (1) Men of ability: able men. Are you ready to do God’s work? (2) Men of godliness: such as fear God. Job was such a man! (3) Men of God’s Word: men of truth. Buy the truth and sell it not! (4) Men of honor: hating covetousness. My treasure is in Heaven!

Are you a man of God worthy of His work delegated into your care? Are you one of the few good men?
