May the real King stand up

Today, Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of "A Miracle Every Day". I pray his message and audio will bless you today. -- The world is looking for a king, where is he?  I grew up in the ’60s & ’70s. I remember the first man on the moon, the Vietnam War, the birth of the Beatles and the first computers. I’ve seen a lot. In hindsight, I think about the great “saviors” and “kings” that our society has offered. Politicians like President Nixon, athletes like OJ Simpson, rock stars like Michael Jackson, or movie moguls like Weinstein. They all have one thing in common: they are human. They all make mistakes. They can crash and burn. Even though we call some of them idols, we know deep down they shouldn’t be.  I learned this lesson from my father. He was running a paper mill in the small French Canadian town of Joliet. One day, he asked me to caddie for him at a celebrity golf tournament. I was so thrilled because I was going to meet my sports idols from the Canadians, a hockey team. I had my little autograph book all ready to go. You should’ve seen my eyes when John Ferguson joined our foursome. He was my idol until the first hole. Ferguson was a tough hockey player with a mean temper that showed itself on his first errant shot. I heard a few choice words and saw a club take flight. I discovered he was just a man. Then I heard the words of my father: “Paul, all men bleed red.”  You see, there is only one king, one God. 1 Timothy 2:5 says it so well: “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” friend, if you’ve been disappointed by people, it’s time to turn to the real King: Jesus.  Faulty idols will always crumble, but the King will stand forever.  Never forget that you’re a miracle!  Paul Marc Goulet -- Thank you, Paul Marc, for sharing this today!
