Which Type Of Man Are You?

You must now be pondering this question. Which type of man are you? Are you the real deal or the one hiding behind a mask? Are you the person whom the people can trust and identify with or just the one who always speaks words that are louder and come to nothing? Is your bark bigger than your bite? People may look up at you and put their lives on the line because you do what you say. As men we trust what Jesus teaches as true; but this is only on an intellectual level. Let me say more. He appreciates a good sermon but goes away and lives out his life that does not allow anyone to distinguish between him and those who do not trust Jesus. In other words, he could be a fake. Not always though. Maybe his faith is not solid enough.

This man doesn’t trust Jesus with his life! There is another man, though, that really trusts Jesus, authentically, and practically. This is the man you should be. Because of his trust he lives a life that is seen as real in every dimension. In Jeremiah 17 we see the man who is blessed. Here are verses 7 and 8; “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, …” The man who truly trusts the Lord Jesus in every way will be blessed, and he will planted in a place where he will never wither away. He is the man you and I should be! Now I ask you again, which type of man are you?

When we trust our Lord Jesus; when we live like we really trust Him, we come to life. In this way we become spiritually strong and healthy and fruitful. How are you then distinguishing yourself from other men, like one who lives a life that trusts Jesus? Why not be blessed and “planted by the waters” starting today. Become the man has called you to be and become His warrior on earth. Enjoy the ride!
