King's Inspiration: WRONGS THAT LEAD TO RIGHTS

We all have times in life when what happens to us is wrong. A coworker leaves you out. It’s easy to get discouraged and think we must have missed it because it didn’t work out. But God uses the wrongs to move us to our purpose. What looks like a setback is really a divine detour.

If you don’t understand this, you’ll fight everything that goes wrong. But if you understand that the wrongs are a part of God’s plan to get to the rights you’ll stay in peace, trusting that God is ordering your steps. When Jesus was on Mount of Olives, the officers of the temple guard approached him.

Peter said, “This is wrong,” and struck one of them with his sword. It was wrong. Peter was right that it was wrong and the other disciples were about to draw their swords, but Jesus said to them, “Don’t resist anymore!” (Luke 22:51). He was saying, “Quit fighting these wrongs.”

The disciples couldn’t see that all these wrongs against Jesus were leading to a

right. They were necessary to get Jesus on the cross. It wasn’t the enemy leading Him to the wrongs; it was the hand of God. Too many people get stuck in the wrongs - delays.

As Peter did, you’ll be tempted to fight, get upset, live frustrated and say, “God, why did this happen? Where are You?” No, God is saying, “I am in complete control. Quit resisting. You have to get through the wrongs to become who you were created to be. The enemy will bring wrongs.

It’s a divine detour. Every wrong is not the enemy. Sometimes it’s God working out. How you handle the wrongs will depend on whether you see the right. If you see the wrong as an enemy and if you get upset and try to pay people back, you’ll get stuck. When you understand that God has divine detours, you’ll flow with it.
