God Does Not Make Mistakes

God Does Not Make Mistakes
 
 When you are in the ministry, you hear all kinds of things. One of the things that has bothered me more than anything else, is when I hear people blame God for whatever is wrong. One incident in particular, was a young man in a large town I had been called in to for a speaking engagement. My car broke down and after the repair; a young man took me for a test drive to show me the car was fixed. Christianity was brought up, and the young man sneered saying, “I don’t want anything to do with God.” Year before last, He killed my Grandmother and last year He killed my mom.” Now doesn’t that sound just like the devil, to twist a sad time for that young man into being the fault of God.

I explained to him, that God is not his enemy. God loves him and sent his Son to die for us. That Jesus came to put an end to the work of the devil. I told him that because we live in a sinful world, bad things happen. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin was loosed in this world. Because of that we live in a sinful world. Sinfulness breeds pain, distortion, malfunction, deformation, terror, grief, hate and we could go on and on. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” [Genesis 1:1]. “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions. All things were created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things and in Him all things consist” [Colo.1:16-17]. If He just stepped back and turned loose, everything about this world would merge into chaos. Later after God had created everything, “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good” [Genesis 1:31]. God does not make mistakes! Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” [Heb. 13:8]. Now, you don’t need anyone to interpret that verse. God said, “I am the Lord thy God and I change not.” Everything God does or has ever done is for our good. He does not need anything! It’s all for us.

When people use His name as a curse word and blame Him for ever bad thing that happened, He cannot help them. He set some rules for us to have a victorious life. If we abide by His rules, then He can help us through any situation. If we go against His laws, we are open meat for the devil. If God broke his rules to help us, it would make Him a liar. God does not make mistakes. Oh, we may go through some bad times, but He will always be there working with us to see us through. Take the law of gravity, it benefits our lives with stability, but if we are stupid and jump off a tall building it will kill us. Electricity is used for wonderful functions to make our life much easier. But if we use it in the wrong way it will kill us. “The wages of sin is death” [Rom.6:23]. Wages are earned. A lot of problems we have, we bring on ourselves, many things happen because we live in a sinful world. Problems come from, the world, the flesh, or the devil. God is perfect, He does not make mistakes. If we thank Him and Praise Him for the good He has done, He helps us even more. The really scary thing is to think about going through this life without Him. People who do not know God or have Jesus in their heart, those who are not being led by the Holy Spirit are just in a state of existence. Without Jesus there is no hope in this world or the world to come. God is a God of Love, not hate. Invite Him to show you that love today. Simply, “God does not Make Mistakes”
