Recalibrate the route!
“Crooked paths will become straight, rough paths will become smooth” (Luke 3:5)
I like Global Positioning System (GPS) in new cars. A voice comes and tells me how far I have to go and when to turn. However, sometimes I lose my way and the voice says: “Recalculating route.” The GPS is telling me that I have lost my way and it is now recalculating the route based on my wrong turn. Sometimes we may take wrong turns in our spiritual life. We think we’re headed in the right direction, only to find out that entering into that relationship, making that business deal, hiring that person was never God’s will – the examples are endless.
There is a wonderful thing about God. He can make our crooked ways straight. He has the ability to correct any of your mistakes. This may mean that there may be some consequences to those decisions, but if we repent and seek Him fully to make things right, He will always allow your actions to work together according to His purposes for the good of those who have been called. These lessons can also contribute to bringing more wisdom into our lives if we learn from our mistakes.
God’s omnipotence is always one step ahead of our incompetence. Do you think he knew you would make that wrong move? Absolutely. Do you feel that your life was still planned after that misstep occurred? Absolutely.
Isn’t it comforting to know that you can’t take God’s plan out of the equation, no matter how much you mess up? He will always turn the crooked places into straight places for those who are humble and discouraged.
Do you need to straighten a crooked place today? Ask Him to make the path straight so you can flow into His perfect will for your life.
