"Regrettable" behaviors of "famous" people

Well, my opinion about Michael Phelps getting
caught doing drugs is no big deal. The real problem
is that people, as always, tend to tag any "famous"
person as their role model. How do I know this? It's
very simple, if it had been any other everyday guy
doing drugs no one would have cared. People who
do this are not following what is said to us in
Psalms 146:3 ," Do not put your trust in nobles,
Nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs."
As we are told here, we mustn't put our trust in "nobles",
or in this case "famous" or renown people, because
they usually will let you down in some way, in this case
doing drugs in secret.
Now that I mention the fact of doing things in secret,
Hebrews 4:13 comes to my mind, it says,"And there is not
a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things
are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom
we have an accounting." This text gives us the certainty
that no one, no matter how carefully they hide an act, can
hide anything from Jehovah God. Something that is also
really interesting, is the fact that when people hide something
is because even they know that what they are doing is wrong.
So a word of advise that we can get from this is that since
we can't hide anything from Jehovah God, then we must
simply follow his sacred norms to be of his liking.
