I was very happy to see my preacher back in the pulpit this evening. He had taken an extended leave due to his wife's failing health and eventual death. But tonight he was back leading our Wednesday night prayer meeting and bible study. We studied some of Joshua and then talked about obedience.
My preacher is a pillar of obedience and I look up to him in a lot of things. I'm not one of those people who put preachers on a pedestal, in fact I probably put them under more scrutiny than I should. I have seen his strengths and weaknesses and I know that he strives to walk the walk instead of just talking the talk. He tirelessly goes and visits the sick and dieing. He's soft spoken but won't compromise God's word in any way, whether it offends anybody or not. He has a very kind and gentle demeanor yet God has used him in a very powerful way and I'm just super glad to see him back.
