2 Chronicles 33
For believers we need to go to God daily, to remind ourselves of God's greatness, to thank Him for what He has done, and to cleanse ourselves of our sin. If we do not, we remain separated from God and this wedge grows. Although God's patience is not unlimited, He does want us to come back to Him so that we can reconciled and restored. Manasseh does come back and his story is our story - we all wander. The key then is to not wait to be restored and reconciled. Go to God daily, if not more, for what we have done so that we can turn from our sin towards Him who can better direct our steps then we can.
For God to remain visible in our lives, we must have a heart of gratitude - this reminds us of how much God has done, how great He is, and how we all need a Savior.
My Prayer: Lord You are indeed a great God, who has done many signs of wonder in my life. I am amazed at how You work. Thank You Jesus for how You have blessed me. My cup overflows. I am not worth such a God. I worry. Please forgive me Jesus and help me turn from and overcome my sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God. v13
