6 Prophesy
ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that
they shall not take shame.
7 ¶O thou
that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the Lord straitened? are these
his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly? (Micah
2:6-7)
If we’ve ever wanted
to share a spiritual message that specifically addresses an issue a listener
has and then have decided not to because we don’t want to embarass them, these
verses can help us.
They tell us that the
Lord’s spirit doesn’t hold back from teaching a principle for fear of
embarrassing someone because hearing those principles also blesses the obedient
with satisfaction and joy. To
prevent embarrassment or shame to the disobedient would also withhold joy from
the obedient.
