The need to keep his wife of many years company, made him decline the offer of a job he would have loved. He had been headhunted, told that his uprightness was the pull. Days after he was given the additional opportunity to nominate other qualified candidates – if he could guarantee their integrity, he acknowledged his inability to find one. Some of those he knew, had the educational qualification, but he couldn’t vouch for what they would do when they encounter real opportunity in a higher office.

 

“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”  Ezekiel 22:30 (King James Version)

 

Many are nice, but few are trustworthy

Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
