2 Corinthians 3:18 “We all, with open face
beholding…the glory of the Lord.”
When my husband was a young man, he was
horribly let down by the leaders of his church. I will not go into all of the
details here; suffice it to say that they did not practice what they preached.
This shook his foundations, and sent into a time of pulling away from God. Thankfully,
he came back into the fold of believers, and God taught him a valuable lesson in
the process. He has shared this lesson with all the people he has ministered
to. He always says, “Keep your eyes focused on God, because people will fail
you and let you down.” This is so very true, and most of us of experience it in
one way or another. He would go on to say, “I will even let you down, but God
never will.” This is the deepest and most profound truth of all. Chambers says, “We must build our faith, not
on the fading light, but on the Light that never fails.” Being shaken by
disappointment in church leadership or fellow believers is going to happen. We
will all disappoint someone at some point, for we are all just ultimately
fading lights. God’s light, however, is majestic and glorious; it will lead us
through any dark night of the soul. We are never alone.
