\u201cThis is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: \u2018In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…\u2019\u201d Isaiah 30:15<\/p>\n
It does not matter who wins the White House, the message of the Sovereign Lord to our nation will be the same: \u201cRepent.\u201d It does not matter the color of an individual\u2019s skin, if he or she is not walking with Christ, the One through whom all were created says: \u201cRepent.\u201d<\/p>\n
We can be confident this is the Word of God for today because this was the message of Christ as He walked the earth many years ago. \u201cFrom that time on Jesus began to preach, \u2018Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.\u2019\u201d (Matthew 4:17) Love tells us what we need to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow there were some present at the time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, \u2018Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them \u2013 do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.\u2019\u201d (Luke 13:1-5)<\/p>\n
There is no true rest in darkness. Pretending to be what we\u2019re not; justifying wrongdoing; blaming others; denying the truth\u2026 we\u2019re not created to live this way. Jesus invites us to come into the light, to receive forgiveness, and to find rest.<\/p>\n
\u2018Get right with God! Quit focusing on others and examine your own heart. Look at your own actions and confess your own sin. Be honest. Come to Me for healing and freedom. My blood has already covered your debt, but you cannot continue to live in darkness. I am the Light! I am the Way; I speak Truth with perfect love; I give Life filled with joy and hope.\u2019<\/p>\n
A merciful Father wants all to believe that His loving Son stands with open arms to receive any person who comes humbly to Him. May all hear His invitation.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome to Me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.\u201d Matthew 11:28-30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
