When Did God Get It Wrong?

When did God start getting things wrong, mixed up, confused about this life we're living?

NEVER!!

So often we make choices or decisions about our lives and then we want to blame God. He's not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 4:13), we are. We will confuse our lives with a bunch of mess because we want to think that everything is okay to be apart of, "everybody's doing it", we have to accept this and we have to accept that, "why not; one time won't hurt". One thing I have learned in my 38 years of living...I do not have to be a part of everything nor do I have to try or accept everything going on around me. When you start accepting things, you open up your sensory gates to things that you shouldn't be consuming. We have to guard ourselves from the tricks that this world throws at us.

So when did God get it wrong? At birth? Naw. He knew us before He formed us in our mother's womb (Jeremiah 1:5). James 4:7 explains that when we know to do the right things and still decided to make the choice to do wrong, that's sin. We'll have to deal with the consequences of our decision making.

When I was in school, I remember if I got some questions wrong on an assignment or test, there were times that the teacher would allow me to go back and fix my mistakes and I would earn more points. Some times whenever we get something wrong, the Lord will allow us to redeem ourselves and earn back those "points" so that we can get back on track. God wants us all to live in His promises; He's giving us space and time to change so that He can fulfill our promises (2 Peter 3:9)

God hasn't gotten anything wrong and He's not going to start now. Let's be mindful of who we are and whose we are; God has a purpose for all of our lives. Ask Him and I'm pretty sure He'll show you. God isn't going to get anything wrong as it relates to you or anyone else.

When did you or I get it wrong? It happens. Thank God we can usually fix and learn from our mistakes.

Praise Your Own Pond!

Who are you praising? I'm a firm believer that you praise individuals who are deserving and who earn the praises. Praise is defined as the act of expressing approval or admiration. Everyone likes to be praised for the good things they accomplish. Whether it's a child that did good on a report card, a teen passing their driving test, that man proposing to his girlfriend, a marriage, graduation...I can go on an on. All of these things listed are worth praises. Do we praise people for the "good" that they do or do we sit and spew hate or negativity towards them? There's a saying that states, "It's a poor frog who doesn't praise its own pond", I agree. Why wouldn't you praise yourself for your own accomplishments? If you can't praise yourself for the "little" or "big" things that mean a lot to you, that means you can't genuinely praise anyone else for theirs. You have to start with yourself first. Even if it's a ...

Shake it like a Polaroid Picture

Last Christmas I was gifted with a Polaroid Camera that I requested. I use to admire the Polaroid Camera's when I was a kid; I never had one but I always wanted one. To finally have my own personal Polaroid, it was nostalgia. I started making plans for all of the candid pictures I would take with my new camera and since it was Christmas, I was looking forward to all of the instant pictures I would have on that day. I have used my Polaroid a lot since Christmas; I even had to get more film. The best part of having my Polaroid Camera is watching the picture come out and watching it develop right before my eyes. The anticipation of what the picture is going to look like; is it too dark, too light or did it develop just right? Making sure the camera's settings are correct before taking the pictures make a big difference. Sometimes the pictures can develop too dark or too light; both make it hard to see the image. Having messed up a lot of pictures due to the wrong setting can be ...

"Easy[Like Sunday Morning]"

I've been thinking about this song a lot lately and wondering what was Lionel Richie thinking when he penned this tune. Did Lionel Richie attend church on Sunday mornings?! Some of my Sunday morning's aren't easy at all. Lol! They are filled with trying to decide what to wear to church, how I'm going to do my hair, how my hair is going to turn out, if I'm going to like how I'm going to even look for church, do I want to attend the 8am or 11am service, etc.  Although some of my Sunday mornings aren't "easy", I don't allow the uneasiness to hinder me from attending church. The bible says in Hebrews 10:25 for Believers (Christians) to not skip church services and to encourage other Believers to attend church services as well. We are to surround ourselves with one another because we can uplift and empower each other. We get our teachings and motivations from listening to God's Word; listening to and applying His Word not only makes our Sunday...
