The God of Second and Third Chances
Scripture 2 Chron 36:15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.
Observation: God doesn’t give up easy, but there is a time when enough is enough. God gave me plenty of chances to come to Him and I’m not sure if the last time might have been the last time and I would have left this earth Hell bound. God opens doors, sends people and does miracles to get our attention and gives us an opportunity to turn from our sins and turn towards Him. However the final choice is still ours whether we will humble ourselves and receive Jesus as our Lord and savior or not.
Application: I want to be one of those people God sends to warn others. I want the opportunity to tell others about the love God has for them and if the humble themselves and receive Jesus they too will be saved. I need to look for those opportunities and to prayer to my Lord to use me in whatever way He desires. I need to be that faithful servant God desires me to be.
Prayer: My Lord I am yours, please use me to touch the lives of others in your name. May I be useful to you and that I will speak out boldly about your love and saving grace. I love you Lord and I do want to honor you with this life you have given me.
