If there was one king Jesus’ family line who messed up more than any of the others, it’s probably Manasseh. He rebuilt pagan shrines, practiced sorcery, sacrificed his own sons in fire, and led the whole nation into evil. He ignored every warning God sent.
Eventually the Assyrians took him captive and carried him to Babylon in chains. At that low point, Manasseh turned back to God, recognizing the error of his ways. God listened and rescued Manasseh from the Assyrians.
The worst man in the record became one of the clearest pictures of God’s mercy in it.
If you think you’ve gone too far, you’re not the first person to think so. God’s grace doesn’t run out, and he's more patient than we could ever comprehend. All you need to do is ask for his forgiveness and turn away from your old ways. You’re never too far gone for God’s rescue.
Pray: God, I’ve believed I’m past the point of your forgiveness. I’m bringing you the thing I thought was too much. Thank you for always reaching me with your mercy and grace. Help me turn things around so I can fully follow you. Amen.
