Read: Genesis 2:18-22

“For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah” (Heb 8:8). Another reason God allowed the Old Covenant rather than adopt the New Covenant from the beginning is because He was trying to teach us lessons in humility and integrity. He presents a picture of one who does something, and finds fault with it, then makes a better attempt at doing the same thing. He did not force it down the throat of mankind that since He had established the Old Covenant, it must be accepted just like that – whether good or bad, whether it achieved its goal or not. That is humility! He did the same thing in Genesis 2:7 when He made man but refrained from making the woman immediately. Later, He evaluated what He had done and scored Himself below average before going ahead to create the woman (Gen 2:18). He could have created Adam and Eve the first day but He wanted to teach us lessons in objectivity and honesty. If God can admit so-called mistakes, why are we finding it so difficult to admit our mistakes? If God can make another attempt or effort towards achieving His goal, why do we find it difficult to make subsequent attempts after the previous one flopped? How sincere are you? Are you humble enough to admit your errors? Some men think it is demeaning and degrading to admit mistakes. No, it is a strength, not a weakness. When last did you say ‘Sorry?’ When last did you admit that your spouse or subordinate or even child had a better idea than yours? Learn from God!
