““If you will return, O Israel,” says the Lord, “Return to Me; And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, Then you shall not be moved. And you shall swear, ‘The Lord lives,’ In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; The nations shall bless themselves in Him, And in Him they shall glory.””
Jeremiah 4:1-2
The call for all nations! Repent and come and admit who the Lord is! Then in him be glorified!!!

“The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.”

“So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.”
II Chronicles 33:9
While King, Manasseh did this. How sad. May we look at our own lives and be careful not to lead others away from God by anything we say or do! May we draw them closer to the Lord by being like Jesus and letting His light shine through us!
“But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”

“Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.” Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert. The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes. A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”
Isaiah 35:4-10 NKJV
Beautiful words to Israel in that day and a picture for us of what will happen when Jesus comes! A double meaning Word from the Prophet Isaiah.
Tom
“My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him.”

So get busy!!! Especially sharing Jesus!

“For this is God, Our God forever and ever; He will be our guide Even to death.”
Psalms 48:14
These were the thoughts of Israel and Judah. They should be our thoughts and in our prayers as well. He is Judge, He is Love, He is Merciful and He is forgiving!
Praise the Lord as He continues to guide us until we die and are home with Him for eternity!
