God Never Makes A Mistake

-January 7, 2025-

Good morning, beloved, happy Monday,

“As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”

(Psalm 18:20).

People make mistakes everyday, I make mistakes everyday. It is not so with God—He is perfect. I was thinking about this on way home in my car.

We look back on times in our lives and we wonder why God allowed something devastating to happen to us or those we love. It may cross our minds that God somehow made a mistake. Not true! He never makes a mistake. He is perfect in His character, His ways, and in His Word. It is a mistake to think God makes a mistake.

It may be the death of someone young, it may the loss of a job, a home, or even a marriage. God allows things in our lives to grow our faith and help fully rely on Him. I learned the acronym quite a few years ago: F-R-O-G which stands for “Fully Rely On God. “

Trusting that the Lord’s ways are best is a lifelong lesson. It is helpful to always remember how much He loves us, and wants the very best for us.

If we could see as God sees and know what God knows, we would soon realize God’s ways are perfect, even when we can’t understand them. He is fully in control. Still, how often we ask why. There are some why’s which won’t be answered until we get to heaven. We think of Joseph, who could have asked why he was sold into slavery, was falsely accused and put in prison. We think of David who was anointed as king over Israel but had to wait years to take his rightful throne.

God says in Isaiah 55:8-9, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways’’ says the Lord. For as high as the heavens above the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts your thoughts.’”

Let us let God be God to direct our lives; He knows best. Have a blessed day. Stay safe and healthy.

If God could make a mistake, He wouldn’t be God.
