"Then all the elders of Israel gathered together, and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, 'Look, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.' But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, 'Give us a king to judge us.' So Samuel prayed to the LORD. And the LORD said to Samuel, 'Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.' "
I Samuel 8:4-7
Disillusionment when spiritual leaders fail causes some people to forsake God. Whether a preacher, a prophet, or a father, humans are humans and will disappoint us. The answer not is found in forsaking God, or following the ways of the world. Looking for the perfect person is a futile quest. Our trust has to be in the Lord and not in people.
Today's Thought: When spiritual leaders fail, we need to turn to God instead of turning from Him.
Have a trusting-God day. Love you.
