Many of the Great leaders of the Bible were flawed men. But God often used flawed men for his purpose.
Most had rebellious periods during which they lost their way, but the best learned their lesson and returned to Him seeking his forgiveness and love.
“Many of the great men of the bible were flawed men”—
That is certainly true. This week the Catholic Church celebrated the feast of the Conversion of St Paul. Now, if ever there was a flawed man, it was St Paul. Brilliant in all the laws of the Torah, willing to condemn anyone who preached the Christian gospel, never-the-less God chose him in a dramatic way. Literally by falling off his horse on the road to Damascus, Saul heard the voice asking “why are you persecuting me”. It took a traumatic event to get Saul’s attention.
If God can choose men like Paul and David to rise up and lead his people, why is too farfetched to think that maybe he is doing it again?
