The Right Response to Guilt

Today's verse is II Chronicles 33:13
And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God. 

Paul says in Romans: "Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God." And here around 700 years before we see one of the effects of that. The most desirable effect, that when one recognizes his guilt, that he should humble himself before God, and seek his face, and the redemption that is in Jesus Christ. All too often, instead we harden ourselves, and double down in our sin, bringing down upon ourselves destruction that cannot be undone. In Manasseh's life we see both, and the Grace of God, lifting Manasseh up out of that destruction to life eternal. Which path will you take?
