Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the Lord. We lift up our heart and hands Toward God in heaven; We have transgressed and rebelled, You have not pardoned.
Lamentations 3:40-42 NASB
“We lift up our heart and hands toward God in heaven;”. Do we? With repentant hearts or with raging fists?
Nothing happens without the approval and working of the Lord God. He did not make all of creation, including people, and then not involve Himself in His creation. As you look around what do you see? Are we looking for pardon yet living our lives as if our Creator has no say or part in where we go, what we do? If so, we need to “examine and probe our ways”. When we do we will find that we need to return to the Lord.
God is patient not wanting anyone to perish but He is also holy and just and will not allow us to continue in disobedience to Him.
Now is the time to seek the Lord with repentant hearts, turning to Him, crying out to God who can redeem you and give you peace even when the rebellious world around you is falling apart.
You have heard my voice, “Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help.” You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not fear!” O Lord, You have pleaded my soul’s cause; You have redeemed my life.
Lamentations 3:56-58 NASB
🌹Are you experiencing peace, content in the Lord or are you walking with and looking like the world around you?
Continually Seeking Him,
Sharon
