"Now Samuel said to all Israel.... 'I am old and grayheaded.....I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD and His anointed: Whose ox have I taken or whom have I cheated?' .... And they said, 'You have not cheated or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man's hand.' "
I Samuel 12:1a, 2b, 3-4
What a testimony!!! After all those years of ministry, no one could point a finger at Samuel and say, "You cheated me." He had not abused nor misused his position. I wish that this could be said of me when I am old and grayheaded. The Apostle Paul had this witness: "I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and man" (Acts 24:16). This is a worthy goal in life.
Today's Thought: It is a good witness when we end our days without offense toward people.
Have a clean day. Love you.
