God’s Messengers

Psalm 105:15

Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.

After many, many years, the people in Jerusalem became more wicked and turned against God. God sent his prophets to them to remind them to repent. However, the people not only made fun of the prophets, they also despised their messages and refused to listen to God’s word. 

Prophets are God’s anointed servants or messengers. They teach the truth and interpret the word of God. He calls the wicked people to repentance. He receives revelations and directions from God. So, when the people in Jerusalem ignored and rejected the messages God gave through His prophets, it meant they were rejecting God Himself, not the prophets.

God wants you and me to have full respect for His prophets and messengers. When He sends his messengers, it shows His love and compassion towards us 

Let’s show respect to the people that God sends to us to remind and teach us about His word. 

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for the reminder that I need to respect my parents, teachers, and leaders  as they are the anointed messengers of Yours. Bless them abundantly. Amen.
