Speaking truth can create tension, especially when it hurts others. The role of a prophet is to align with God's heart, even when delivering hard messages. Judgment and mercy coexist in God's character. A soft heart towards God allows for His mercy to be activated. Obedience to speak hard truths is part of spiritual maturity. Huldah's integrity in delivering God's message is a model for us. We must not let fear dilute God's truth. Real prophetic leadership is about obedience, not popularity. God equips those He calls to speak His truth.
