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
