Let's be honest: we all have times in which we show a wrong attitude to things. And it is something we need to work on. But sometimes, when we have a proper attitude of working to do God's will, we are accused of having a wrong attitude. Consider Obadiah. In the first verse of the book, Obadiah makes clear that what he is saying is directly from the Lord. The message is one of warning, condemnation, and punishment towards Edom, but it is a message from God nonetheless. Yet there are those today that say that Obadiah was wrong in saying such things! (Abingdon Bible Commentary p785). Let our attitude be the same as Obadiah's: that we speak what the Lord says, whether it is popular or not, whether it is “positive” or not, and whether we want to or not.
