Today's Reading: 2 Kings 11 & 12
In
today's Scripture, we witness the profound impact a good mentor can have on an
individual's life. Jehoash, the young king of Israel, made a series of wise
decisions and walked in the ways of the Lord. Behind his faithfulness,
we find the guiding influence of Jehoiada the priest. This relationship played
a pivotal role in shaping Jehoash's character and actions.
Spiritual
mentorship is not a mere title or position. It's a calling that carries immense
responsibility and influence. Whether in the realms of family, work, church, or
community, a good mentor has the power to shape lives and inspire positive
change. They can be a beacon of light, guiding others towards truth,
righteousness, and wisdom.
As
we reflect on the value of a good mentor, let's consider their remarkable
contributions to our lives. They can be like a compass, helping us navigate the
turbulent waters of uncertainty and providing a steady hand when we feel lost.
A good mentor encourages us to rise above our limitations and challenges,
reminding us of our true potential.
A
good mentor possesses qualities that inspire and motivate those they lead. They
lead by example, modeling integrity, humility, faith, and compassion. They
empower others, encouraging them to grow, learn, and excel. They create an
environment where individuals feel valued, heard, and supported. The goal of a
godly mentor is to impart God’s truth into your life so that you, too, will do
what is “right in the eyes of the Lord all your days.” As followers of Christ,
we are called both to seek the wise counsel of this type of mentor.
Pray
for God to bring influential mentors into your life who will lead you closer to
Him. And while we wait for that perfect spiritual tutor, let's not forget the
greatest Teacher of all—Jesus Christ. Dive into His Word, and let His teachings
shape your life.
To
be a good mentor, draw inspiration from the ultimate example—Jesus Christ. He
demonstrated servant leadership, washing the feet of His disciples and laying
down His life for all humanity. Seek His wisdom and emulate His love, for true
mentorship is rooted in humility and self-sacrifice.
