dotDevos: Big Sins

Big Sins

I messed up big time. Will God still forgive me?

Manasseh also sacrificed his own sons in the fire in the valley of Ben-Hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and he consulted with mediums and psychics. He did much that was evil in the Lord’s sight, arousing his anger.
2 Chronicles 33:6 (NLT)

But while in deep distress, Manasseh sought the Lord his God and sincerely humbled himself before the God of his ancestors.And when he prayed, the Lord listened to him and was moved by his request. So the Lord brought Manasseh back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh finally realized that the Lord alone is God!
2 Chronicles 33:12-13 (NLT)

Keep in my mind that even though we screw up God still loves us, cares about us, and will still be there waiting for us to come back into arms. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at Manasseh's life. This new king of Israel had undone everything the previous king, Hezekiah, had done to make the land of Israel pure and holy. Think about taking countless hours, Hezekiah spent his life, to clean and organize your room and your sibling comes in and destroys it in a matter of second. Not cool at all. Manasseh lived a life without God. He worshiped various idols, placed idols in the Temple of the Lord and even sacrificed his sons to them. Now this is a guy we wouldn't want watching our kids at daycare. His actions angered the Lord but God had plans to bring him back. Manasseh got himself into a lot of struggles. He poured his heart out to God, humbled himself before the Lord and asked for forgiveness. He was forgiven. Are you ready to be forgiven?


Be humble. Seek Forgiveness. Find Christ.

God Bless
