"I should have seen the signs and prevented his financial infidelity years ago."
How it sounds in your head: There were probably red flags I missed. If I'd been more discerning, more involved, less trusting, I could have stopped this before it destroyed everything. This loss is on me.
"Through the LORD's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."
-- Lamentations 3:22-23Enemy accusation placing prophetic responsibility on her shoulders that only Holy Spirit carries, making her responsible for another's sin.
In hindsight she can identify moments that seem suspicious now. She believes she should have possessed supernatural discernment she didn't have then.
God told Hosea to marry Gomer who was sexually unfaithful repeatedly. Hosea didn't prevent her adultery and wasn't blamed for it. God still spoke through Hosea and his prophetic calling flourished despite his wife's betrayal - her sin didn't disqualify him.
I REFUSE the lie that I should have prevented his choices. IT IS WRITTEN His mercies are NEW EVERY MORNING - yesterday doesn't limit today. Hosea's wife was a PROSTITUTE yet God still blessed Hosea's calling. IT IS WRITTEN God works ALL THINGS together for good to those who love Him. I am not responsible for another's deception. The Israelites got MULTIPLIED WEALTH after 400 years of loss. The BARAK protects me even when I don't see danger coming. I walk in NEW MERCY today regardless of what I missed yesterday.
The Father isn't reviewing footage of missed red flags to determine your worthiness for restoration. He's the God of NEW MERCIES every morning - today's provision doesn't depend on yesterday's discernment.
