What do you do when you sense that evil is creeping in to your world? Nathan had a choice to make. He was an elder statesman. David, his king, was not long for this world. Nathan could easily have gone in to retirement and avoided conflict during the waning years of his life. But he could not do that. He recognized evil entering into his world, and he refused to sit idly by hoping someone else would take action.
Nathan also had the wisdom to know how to help people to sense the urgency of the hour. It is one thing to know there is a problem. It is quite another to recognize what must be done about it. Nathan had godly wisdom. He was the kind of person you want to have near in times of a crisis. He dealt with problems immediately, tactfully, and effectively.
Have you noticed problems around you? Do you sense God mobilizing you to take action in some way? Could it be that God intends for your life to make a significant difference in addressing the evil in your day?
