Wrong decisions made right – Part 1

And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."Acts 26:32

The above passage is showing that 2 judges are discussing the judgement to be pronounced on Apostle Paul. Before they could come to a conclusion Paul appealed to be judged by Caesar. Caesar was the highest authority or person, of the Roman Empire that ruled. Agrippa and Festus were authorities under Caesar in the Roman rule, placed at different provinces. In today's day it is like the local courts and Caesar was like the Supreme court.

While Paul's case was still in the local court, he appealed that he wanted to go before Caesar. When we see the above passage, it seems like Paul's appeal was wrong. He has made the greatest mistake of his life, because he was being set free by the local judges, but he couldn't be set free, because he appealed to Caesar. Everyone would see this as a wrong decision. Everyone would have considered Paul as stupid and would have blamed him for his wrong decision. Many would have thought that God is not with Paul only because of his wrong decision. This makes many people depressed and make them look at their future as hopeless.

Many people sit and cry over their wrong decisions. They curse themselves and sit on the ash heap over their wrong decisions. They never forgive themselves nor they forgive others. Many on the contrary blame others for their wrong decisions. But many forget that God is in control of their lives and God can make the wrong right. God can make the impossible as possible. God can make a way where there seems to be no way. God can create light where there is no light. He loves you to let you go waste. He loves you so much that He can't let you live an average life. Shake yourself up and get ready to what God is going to accomplish through you. God bless you.
