I think every preacher has been there. Unfortunately, it happens to this preacher too often—most recently saying that a certain church family had requested, “No prayers,” instead of saying that they had requested, “No visitors.” Big difference. Big mistake.
Aren’t you glad (and abundantly encouraged) that our God never (not even once) had a brain misfire, a tongue misfire or a deed misfire!? Folks will sometimes say today (in various circumstances), “God doesn’t make mistakes!” And that’s the absolute truth!
“As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven” (Psa. 18:30). No one can justifiably say to God, “You have done wrong” (Job 36:23), for He never has! No one can (or ever has) served God as “His counselor” or “showed Him the way of understanding” (Isa. 40:13-14). When you pick up your Bible, be reminded and assured that our God is perfect, and therefore His Word is perfect (Psa. 19:7). Trust it unconditionally! The mind of God never misfires!
