Truth's Comforting Anchor in Storms of Life

The Bible is Truth in spite of the broken people/preachers who disappoint us;

Who misuse their blessing/calling and ultimately lead astray rather than lead to Christ because they

Fall prey to weakness of mind rather than the Master they professed!

It’s the Message, not the messenger that matters most!

Unfortunately as long as there are humans preaching and teaching God’s Word

They will not be without temptation,

And the fallacies of pride that go before the fall/destruction.

However, no matter now hurt or disappointed we are in those 

who choose to exchange God Truth for a lie,

It does not justify the choice to turn our backs on God’s eternal Word and Love!

In the end we all account for our own choices and responses, not theirs!

 So we need to read the Message of hope for ourselves,

let God speak to us personally through His Word 

and not be hearers only!

We all sometimes tromp underfoot

The loot of touch and taste

Or disregard the mature fruit

Of seeds scattered in haste

We all are prone to place our trust

In objects that we see

While God who is faithful and just

Abides eternally

We all are accountable, oh

To He who grants our days

For it is by His grace we go

He deserves all our praise

Response in all its sundry hues

Is not a game we play

But proves whose precedence we choose

When trouble comes our way

Where, after all is said and done

We all will answer to

The One who gave up His own Son

To pay sin’s awful due

Then, humbly we should keep in mind

Through bitter tears or sweet

That none of us are too refined

To wash each other’s feet
