And Agrippa said to Festus, "This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."Acts 26:32
Many think that their wrong decision will ruin their life forever. It will be a blackspot that will never be removed. Sometimes when we lose our jobs, sometimes when we get demoted, sometimes when no one appreciates us, but shows us all the wrong we do. The wrong relation which caused hurt and didn't work shows us only the wrong decisions which we have made. Such thoughts are defeated thoughts which will never help us. Everyone had similar thought about Paul. But God had spoken to Paul that He will stand before Caesar to speak about the love of God. No one had the opportunity nor boldness to stand before Caesar and share the love of God. If Paul was free no one would have allowed him to enter before Caesar to speak about the Living God. God had told Paul that he would stand before Caesar and speak about the Living God. This opportunity was recognized by Paul and hence he didn't consider his decision as a wrong decision. He saw it as fulfilling the plan of God and glorifying God. What God does is always wonderful. Bible says, "God does only wondrous things, which we may not comprehend initially, but the end will be glorious for us and a blessing to others. God will be glorified through us.
People may think that you are going in the reverse direction, but the truth is that you will succeed better than others. You will reach your destination before others. Though people may think you are taking the reverse direction in your career, in your life, the truth is that God is taking you through a short-cut to place you ahead of all. During this time, keep your attitude right like Paul. Paul saw that God knows what He is doing. God doesn't require Paul's suggestion, but Paul has to only be committed to do what God has asked him to do. Paul not only reached out to Caesar with the word of God, but during this time, many people reached out to hear the wonderful love of the Living God. What God asks you to do at times may seem very foolish, but if you are obedient and leave all your reasons and analysis out of it and do what God asks you to do, no matter what, you will not only succeed, but come out better, above and beyond. Whatever is going on in your life now, leave it in God's hand and ask God for His plan and will. Align your thoughts, your plans, your ambitions to God's plan and God's will and it will come to pass. God will help you. The reverse direction in your life will turn out to be the right direction and others will start following you. Trust God! He has you in the palm of His hands. His plan for you will succeed for sure. God bless you.
