AMAZING FORGIVENESS

2 Chron 33:10-13
10 The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. 11 So the LORD brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon. 12 In his distress he sought the favor of the LORD his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 And when he prayed to him, the LORD was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God. NIV
** Ok, so is this what it’s going to take to get you back to God? Hooks in noses? I find it amazing that God forgives such evil men after all they’ve done. Even though this story is evil, I find hope knowing that if God forgave Manasseh He will forgive me when I fall. Hopefully I will repent BEFORE I get a hook in my nose….. Yep!
