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
