A Turnaround Story

Manasseh was one of the most wicked king of Judah... he rebuilt the altars that had been torn down, built new ones, practiced divination, witchcraft, and even placed altars in the Temple of the LORD... Then the King of Assyria came, took him prisoner (placing a hook in his nose and bronze shackles on him) taking him to Babylon.
In such a state, he humbled himself before God, and when he prayed to God, the LORD listened to him and brought him back to Jerusalem. He then rebuilt the City of David, and devoted the rest of his life to removing all traces of idol worship that he could... He restored the altar of the LORD... and told Judah to serve the LORD...

There are many stories of men and women in the Bible who made a turnaround... stories of redemption and hope.
I want you to think to yourself... just think what you could change in your life...
Is there something that you can remove from your life that's holding you back (like the idols held back Manasseh).
Is it time for you to repent, to turn back to God?
Is God truly #1 in your life?

Just some thoughts to ponder...
Isaiah
2 Chronicles 33:1-20
