Honoring God by Listening to His Servants: A look at Exodus and Proverbs
Ex 16:20 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
“I told you so!” These are the words that I would have wanted to say if I were Moses! It never ceases to amaze me at the number of people who totally ignore the godly advice and counsel of the man of God, only to their own demise! When God puts one of His men in our lives to give us wisdom and direction, it would serve us well to listen with heart-felt consideration! God will honor those who honor him with their lives! So, honor God, and honor His servants!

Pro 29:1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
Pro 11:14 Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
