SEASONS... Does God Always Get It Right 100% (1)

The United States Postal Service is the 3^rd largest employer in America behind the Federal government and Walmart. They employ 574,000 workers and mail 660 million pieces of mail to as many as 142 million delivery points. What if 1% of the mail was delivered to the wrong place? That would equate to 660 thousand pieces of mail sent to the wrong mailboxes! Have you ever gotten the wrong mail in your mailbox? “Ahhh, Yes.”

GM recalled about 800,000 of its small cars due to faulty ignition switches which could shut off the engine during driving and thereby prevent the airbags from inflating. GM has linked this to 13 deaths involving defective ignition switches. As of June 30, 2014, GM has also issued 45 recalls which have involved nearly 28 million cars worldwide. In 2014, GM sold almost 3 billion cars and trucks in 37 countries under thirteen brands. Have you ever bought a GM car that had a defect? What if GM got it wrong 1% of the time? That would be nearly 3 million GM cars that had a defect of some kind.

On the Korean Air Lines Flight 007 from New York City to Seoul via Anchorage on September 1, 1983, the airliner was shot down by a Soviet Su-15. The pilot had gotten off course by just 1 degree into Soviet air space and The Soviet Union claimed they thought it was a spy plane. Sadly 269 people died in that passenger’s plane. Getting it wrong even 1% of the time can be deadly.

We are all humans and we each have the propensity or tendency to make errors and mistakes. Many times that bleeds over into our trusting others and even God Himself.

Have you ever questioned “The Season” that you’re in? Have you ever been suspicious that God may have gotten it wrong? You’re not alone if that’s the case.

Ask Abraham about waiting on his promised son Isaac. Ask Moses about his season in Egypt. Ask David when he was being chased down in the wilderness by King Saul. Ask Job who lost everything but his trust and confidence in his God. God says, “There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.” (Proverbs 14:12)

Yes, there have been times that I have questioned the Lord, “What in the world is this about?” The real question is, “Will you believe that Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you?” Will you believe that, “No weapon formed against you will prosper?” That “All things work together for good to them that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose?” Will you believe, “That His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts?” Will you believe that His plans are greater, better, bigger, wider, superior, larger and broader? We may not comprehend His ways, but I still believe that God gets it right 100% of the time. Choose today, in this season to TRUST GOD with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding!
