Gamers Speak Truth to Power

Good Morning Folks!
I had a little relapse battle with this flu bug and apologize for missing you yesterday. It is hard for me to slow down and rest sometimes. Anyway, it's good to see you again...!

We are in Proverbs 16, looking at verse 13 as our bold print, NLTse:

13- "The king is pleased with words from righteous lips; he loves those who speak honestly"

Kings (or leaders) have to listen to alot of stuff - sifting through tons of information. When wise people speak to leaders they should always speak truth. I don't just mean don't lie, but to speak truth about a situation. Sometimes we answer a leader with what we "think he or she wants to hear" - when in essence, leaders wants to hear the truth about a situation!! They need to know ALL the information, good or bad, so they can make the right decision.

The wisdom that God's grants us can give a unique perspective on a situation and even bring order and clarity to chaos! Proverbs 2:6-9 says that "God grants wisdom and common sense" and we will know what is "right, fair, and just, and you will know the right way to go!!!" When you gain the reputation as one who "speaks truth to power"; one that can accurately access a situation & deliver good counsel --- you will become that "go-to-guy (or lady)" that leaders are constantly looking for!!

As Gamers, that is the kind of reputation that we want to have with our bosses, spouses, family and friends, isn't it? So, speak honestly, with wisdom that only God can grant!!!

Stay in the Game!!
