This morning, taking a shower, I thought about the different attributes of the people of God. Each guy had sort of a different style, or uniqueness about them, in reflecting what being "a man of God" really is. None of these were the "ultimate right answer" but each are dear to the heart of God and served his purposes faithfully. Solomon - asked for and received wisdom David - had a pure heart for God Paul - perservered, unwaveringly Moses - was exceedingly humble Elijah - displayed the power of God Abraham - walked by faith, not by sight Daniel - was intimate with God through prayer Ezekiel - knew the sorrow of God for his people Isaiah - saw the coming salvation Jacob - simply shows God's sovereignty in election Joseph - displayed a life of having favor with God Samuel - listened to God from his youth to his old age John the disciple - was loved by Jesus John the baptist - a fearless speaker of truth
