‘My
lord the king is like an angel of God in discerning good and
evil’(27;14:17). Setting God’s servants on a pedestal is a dangerous
thing. Don’t imagine that they will always get it right. They won’t.
They have their faults and failings as well as everyone else. They need
forgiveness just as much as anyone else. They look great - from a
distance. The closer you get to them, the more you see that they’re not
all they’re cracked up to be. From a distance, they seem like spiritual
giants. Close up, they’re not so impressive. Build up God’s servants
with unrealistically high expectations, and you’re setting them up for a
very great fall. The closer you get to them, the smaller they become.
There’s one Man who’s different: our Lord Jesus Christ - The closer you
get to Him, the bigger He becomes!
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
