What we place our hope in

February 1, 2009 By Seth 1 Comment

I just saw a disappointing article online about Michael Phelps' marijuana use. I'm sure he's regretting his choice now as hind sight is always 20/20. It serves as a reminder to me that we're not supposed to put our trust in anything other than Jesus Christ because all other things will eventually let us down, whether it's money, a sports hero, or even a pastor. We have to be careful not to idolize any person, for in doing so we turn our hearts away from our heavenly Father. We all make mistakes, and thankfully God is quick to forgive those who are surrendered to Him.

    I completely agree. It was a sad moment in life when I realized my parents weren’t perfect.
    God can use people for His glory but we need to keep in mind it is only by God’s power things happen and not by man’s power.
