“Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity. (Joel 2:12-13 NIV)
Return to God
Jesus will return “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24: 36-39 NIV)
Rend Your Heart
From the Old Testament to the New Testament God is telling us, actually warning us, to turn to Him while there is still time. He wishes non to perish "'The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 NIV). Time is not on our side. We don't know when we'll take our last breath. God wants us to trust and obey Him while it's called today. Open your heart to God, listen for His voice, and believe. As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts ..... (Hebrews 3:15 NIV) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:16-17 KJV) Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7 NIV)
Praise God
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Put it all in His hands. have a blessed stress-free worry-free day on purpose, and never stop believing Jesus paid it all.
