I am grateful that it isn’t my responsibility to warn the entire world about what they should or shouldn’t be doing.
“I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me”. (Ezekiel 33:7)
Prophets have weighty calls.
But… I’m not totally off the hook.
I do have responsibility for teaching some people.
Who do I have stewardship over?
My family members should always be my top priority.
I want to do my absolute best to make sure they know how to make and keep covenants and why I think it’s the best decision that they can make.
But I also have the opportunity to fulfill my calling.
Formal callings like teaching and duties like ministering assignments.
I want to also make sure I speak openly about Jesus and help them to come closer to Him by interacting with me.
And then even in casual settings.
When I speak with friends, when I interact with someone at the store, when I post on social media.
I can find opportunities to bear simple or unspoken testimonies of what I believe and how that affects who I am.
Even though we don’t have the same weight that prophets do…
Even though I don’t have to declare everything I know to the whole world…
I can still do my part to make sure I am sharing God’s words, teachings, and love with everyone I come in contact with!
Happy Studying!
