Recently I have had my eyes opened to someone and it has been one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. I have completely lost almost all the respect that I once had for someone who I considered a father figure in my life. In praying about it I keep getting the story of Eli brought to me. Those of you who know me know that I am not one of those "super-spiritual" "thus sayeth the Lord" types, but I just wanted to share the verses that keep being brought to me so that we all can realize we are accountable to God, not just for ourselves but for those whose lives we influence as well. Know that no man is above God or above reproach!
I Samuel 2
v.3
Talk no more exceeding proudly; let not arrogancey come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
I Samuel 3
v.11
Ane the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
v.12
In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
v.13
For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not
v.14
And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
