Listen to me, you rulers of Israel! You know right from wrong, but you prefer to do evil instead of what is right. You skin my people alive. You strip off their flesh, break their bones, cook it all in a pot, and gulp it down. Someday you will beg the Lord to help you, but he will turn away because of your sins.
Micah 3:1-4
When tragedy strikes a nation, any nation there are many who cry out to God for help! Whether it is a hurricane, an earthquake, or even a mass shooting and murder, those who are brought low by the terrible event know that there is no real help except from God Himself!
But what if you beg God for help and He turns away? Why would God refuse to come to the aid of those who cry out to Him in pain and anguish? The answer is simple. Men turn to God without turning away from their sins! If you do that you will find God not to be everything you had hoped!
God is not in the business of rescuing sinners so they can keep on sinning! The word that we want to leave out of the Gospel message is REPENT! Turning to God without turning from your sins will surely disappoint. So if your "walk with Jesus" has been less than amazing try repentance. Turn away from everything in your life that is not pleasing to God! Then beg Him for mercy! You will find a stunning difference in your life with Christ!
"Lord Jesus, show me today how I can repent of those things that do not please You. Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen.
