Today's verse is 2 Chronicles 28:13
And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.
Do you know what the sin of the Northern Kingdom of Israel was? Was it not even the false worship in the place that God had not chosen, and the worship of Idols even against what he had commanded them? Yet, when they were faced with a choice, even though the greater sin was acknowledged, they only repented of those things great as they are, the lesser. It was only a short time after this that the Northern Kingdom of Israel was taken away captive. How can we learn from this? Will we knowing how we seek God not after his way, but our own, will we turn to him with a true heart, or will we clean only the outside, stubbornly holding on to that which we think we created? If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not with us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Let us therefore, come to God humbly, according to the way he has directed, and when we do, as he has promised, he will cleanse not only the heart, but the outward appearance as well. Amen.
To God be the Glory
