“But you are to tell the king of Y’hudah, who sent you to consult Adonai, that Adonai the God of Israel also says this: ‘In regard to the words you have heard, because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants-you humbled yourselves before me, tore your clothes and cried before me-I have also heard you,’ says Adonai.”
2 Chronicles 34:26-27 CJB
God will judge the people for their sins eventually! Why? Because they don’t fully repent! King Josiah does fully repent, but the people don’t! Understand when we repent God fully forgives, but when we don’t He will fully judge!
“He sounds a warning in their ears and orders them to repent of their evil.”
Job 36:10 CJB
God warns us throughout His Word that His desire for us is to repent and return to living in His ways, by walking by His Word not ours!
“Therefore, repent and turn to God, so that your sins may be erased; so that times of refreshing may come from the LORD’S presence; and He may send the Messiah appointed in advance for you, that is, Yeshua.”
Acts 3:19-20 CJB
This is good news to hear that if we simply repent, He forgives and restores us!
Have a blessed day committing yourself to God!
