This is what happened: I found out that even my wrongs were wrong! Let me break it down to you. I called myself recognizing when and where I was wrong in my life choices. However, I kept making bad choices; even though I wasn’t necessarily making the same decisions. I found myself continuing to be wrong! You can’t imagine how frustrating life is when you’re trying to do better, and you’re still wrong, geez! The point I’m getting to is to make sure, or in my case, find out if your idea of wrong is RIGHT.

I’ll explain what I mean. Here’s the example, let’s say you are struggling with eating right. You educate yourself, and you decide to go with this new eating plan that you read about. So you have created this whole new lifestyle and eating habits according to your understanding of what you read. Time is passing, and you think you’re doing everything right until you realize you are seeing little to no results, or worse, your new plan is having the opposite effect on your good intentions to eat/live right.

Here’s where we find the importance of the rights in being wrong. You/I were right in wanting and then attempting to do better, but wrong in doing better according only to my/your understanding. Just because we understand or think we understand doesn’t always mean our understanding is correct. It’s no wonder I kept repeating old habits in new ways!

Let me tell you another way for our wrongs to be wrong. Let’s say you did try to ask others who “read” the book about your new life plan. You asked them, and guess what, they got the same understanding that you did, or worse, their understanding is further from being right than your own understanding. Now you’re really screwed!

Check your resources! If everyone around you is on the same page as you or behind in the story, then they can never tell you how it ends or how to understand. You need people around you who already have the book and have applied the change, but correctly. [Proverbs 3:5 AMP Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own understanding.
