Mistakes . [ Isaiah 1 v18 ]

We all make mistakes,well I made a mistake recently,I was given the responsibility of measuring our windows for new net curtains,after buying
them we brought them home,only to discover that the measurements I
had made were wrong.Initially this upset us and my wee wife was not to
pleased,but then bless her,she took charge ,made good my mistake,we
now have nice curtains hanging in our window.Some mistakes can be
be righted,some cannot,Judas made a terrible mistake when he betrayed His
master Jesus,the rich young ruler made a terrible mistake,when he choose
his temporal wealth,instead of eternal life [Matthew 19. v16-22],the very thing he wanted,or thought he wanted most of all.Samson the strong weak man made a mistake,when he choose the wrong partner Delilah [Judges 16 v4ff].He ended up blind,bound,and in bondage,yet God I believe restored
him and used him to destroy the enemies of His people.Samson in our eyes
was a very imperfect human being,but do not make the mistake of thinking
we are better,we are all imperfect,as M Wilcock writes,no one is free from
the infection of sin,not even one. That is why Christ came, He the perfect one would die for us the imperfect ones,that our sins, no matter how bad they are can be forgiven.The biggest mistake anyone can make is to ignore
this,and to live and die without Christ,to do that is to commit a mistake
that cannot be remedy.
                                     A prayer.
Dear God we praise You for your saving mercy,that through Jesus we can be forgiven all our sins,no matter how bad,in Jesus name we thank You. Amen
