It is impossible to be perfect for we cannot avoid committing inadvertence like mere misreading, which is a little mistake but sometimes draws flak from the world which would easily condemn.
John Travolta did misread Pop Star Idina Menzel’s name as something like “Adele Nazeem” and the vultures covering the Oscars, the galaxy of glitz and glamour quickly pounced on him. I heard Travolta, Olivia’s dancing partner and singing sensation of my generation during the days of disco fever, subsequently had lost some sleep for a few nights with some beer, due to that faux pas his detractors would always remember.
The incident was just another fine and classic example that all humans are prone to mistakes, regardless of whether they’re Ivy-league educated or “pasang-awa” MVS graduates. Along life’s pathway there will be a time an individual is going to fumble and mess up. Some resulting troubles would be petty and others would be fatal like an inescapable trap.
Take Senator Juan Ponce Enrile, he’s untouchable and “lucky” being at the right place at the right time ever since because of his cleverness and guts, yet when he chooses to face Senator Miriam head on each time they clash he’d always misread the lady as he wouldn’t expect to meet his match.
The mighty La Salle volleying Lady Archers paid dearly for it in their rubber match when they did also misread their Ateneo counterpart. Therefore the UAAP 2014 crown was snatched by the Eagles’ volleybelles who turned out to be the team with the strong heart.
Because the world did misread Adolf Hitler in the early stages of his diabolical design of swastika and ruthlessness beyond definition, the Second World War erupted with the slaughter of six million Jews alone and bitterness unlimited to many a helpless nation.
Also, one of the most painful and costly errors of misreading as well is when you deem, despite the absence of an explicitly expressed “Yes,” that you have already her love in the bag, so to speak, and it turned out later to be a big “No” instead, giving your heart its much needed rest… in peace.
Definitely, there’s a great difference between an imperfect man and the perfect God. He can perfectly read one’s inner thoughts and desires of the heart while He watches from above. And that means no way all hardships and struggles in life could escape His attention. Being an all-knowing Supreme God it is truly impossible for Him to misread our every situation.
Especially when we’re sinking, He reads with love, with full compassion (Matt. 14:14). He reads with perfect accuracy. With readied remedy. With free salvation (II Cr. 6:2).
