"And when he was in affliction, he besought the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heart his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Them Manasseh knew that the Lord he was God." 2 Chronicles 33:12-13
There will be times when God brings me times of affliction, am I willing to humble myself to learn what He has to teach me? Am I willing to let the Lord work in my life and prove He is God?
Very thought-provoking . . . Most of the impacting lessons in our lives are not learned by accidental "happenings" -- like Pharaoh, we can harden our hearts and thus make it impossible for God to work in our lives. How scary that thought is! But what an amazing, merciful God we serve! I am so, so thankful that He is patient and longsuffering towards me. :)
