God's prophets.... PROCLAIMED what was to come, CALLED for repentance and DECLARED the word of God. We are gutting these actions a bit this week.
In talking this morning about repentance it just does something to my heart. Makes it mush. I guess that is a good thing although sometimes it is hard to process why. I know that the Word of God says that it is "His kindness that leads us to repentance" so for that I embrace it and am reminded of His nearness.
We read the story of the prophet Nathan that came to David and told him of a story of a rich man taking from a poor man his only sheep.... and how David was so angry he said "this man should die!" and it was then Nathan told David "IT IS YOU"... because David had slept with Uriah's wife and then had Uriah killed to cover it up. Oh man..... that had to sting..... talk about being called to repentance?!
Not sure where you are at this morning, but I pray we NEVER get too far from hearing that voice weather it is a modern day prophet/Nathan (friend) or the still small voice that calls us to repentance! Let us never ignore that tug, that warning that draw.....
Joel 2:12-13 "Even now, this is the Lord's declaration... turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping and mourning TEAR YOUR HEARTS not just your clothes, and return to the Lord your God." For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in faithful love, and He relents from sending disaster."
