What an honored designation - to be known as a man (or woman) of God! Such a person would reflect God in his walk, his talk and his thoughts. It is not those who say they are godly, but rather those who live godly lives who earn such a reputation. Perhaps you can think of someone whom you would call a “man of God.” In the Bible, Moses is called “the man of God” five times, and David, three times. Also, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha and some of the other prophets are so designated. In the New Testament, Timothy is called a “man of God” (1 Timothy 6:1111But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. (1 Timothy 6:11)), showing that we also should have the character that would merit such a title. A man of God was sent to Eli, another to Jeroboam, another to Ahab, and also one to Amaziah. Although God would occupy us with their message rather than with them, His messengers, they will be rewarded for their services. We, too, should be content, knowing that He takes notice, and give a faithful testimony, deliver His message, and He will reward in a coming day.
