God Always Gets It Right





A DEVOTION ON GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY



When we worry over things, circumstances, or people in our lives, we are testifying to the fact that God might not get something right, or afraid He will get it wrong. This is an indication that we have not totally surrendered every area of our life to Him. No matter how we try to convince ourselves otherwise, It is really a trust issue with God, not our circumstances, choices those we love make, finances, government, or bosses. He is ready to forgive us of distrust, worry and fear, but we first have to admit them as sin, and walk in obedience to believe Him in all.


“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.” Jesus Christ in John 14:1


When we are bitter or unforgiving toward circumstances, or people in our lives, we are testifying to the fact that God got something wrong, or afraid He can’t make it right. We especially struggle with things that are beyond our control, like harmful actions of others, accidents, illnesses, tragedies or even death, and if not careful, they can make us bitter and unforgiving. We must remember that God is sovereign, and He has allowed whatever has come into our lives. We live in a sinful world, we are sinful people. However, He is not capable of mistakes, and He is able to redeem all situations and people to Himself. In His strength, He can heal bitterness and our unforgiving hearts, by confessing them as sin, and asking Him to help us walk in obedience putting away bitterness and living in forgiveness.



Ephesians 4:31-32: “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
Next time we are tempted to worry, fear, become bitter, or unforgiving, let’s remember these verses, and confess that even in a sin filled world, where sinful man gets things wrong, God gets everything right, and is able to make everything right. Let’s all learn to only trust Him. GOD IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
