Dedicated to all those who wonder where all the good men are and whether they still exist.
As
we go through life meeting diverse kinds of people (the good, the bad and the
ugly), it affects us in many ways, especially with regards to our perspective
about life and people. Not only that, the experiences we watch people around us
go through also affect our perspective greatly that you begin to buy into
stereotypes such as “all men are…..”, “love is…”, “marriage is…”, “all the good
men around are taken” and many more. It’s true that you are entitled to your
own opinion considering the wealth of experiences and proofs you may have to
back up these stereotypes but the truth in life is: there
are always exceptions to every rule.
In
1st Kings 19:13-14, Elijah goes before God and complains that all
the good men and prophets have been killed and he is the only one left. From
his point of view he was right. But God answers him in 1st Kings
19:18 by saying that he has about 7000 people left who haven’t worshipped baal.
Imagine that…a whopping 7000 people. What’s my point? That view of yours that
there are no longer any good men or women is as false as Elijah’s view that he
was the last good man standing. It’s a viewpoint born out of the nasty things
you’ve personally experienced or watched others experience and it’s quite an
incorrect one.
God still has thousands of good men and women reserved; it’s just that you haven’t met them…yet. Instead of holding onto the mindset that there are no longer any good men in existence (a lie which the enemy and situations around you so much wants you to believe), why not ask the Lord who knows where these men/women are hidden to send one into your life??? Ask him to order your steps to meet one and he’ll surely grant your request. But first of all, you must, let go of the stereotype in your mind that there are no good men anywhere for it is the veil that will prevent you from meeting one or discerning when one comes your way. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord… Ps 37:23. Have a sweet weekend.
