1) Let's go back to the classics with this teaching about Manassa. It's pretty simple: he was the worst king that Judah ever had, paying no attention to the Lord. However, in his stupidity, he reached a point of major distress. When he sincerely sought God and humbled himself, we can understand that God will still hear us even if we're as bad as Manassa. By the way, remember that you're not as bad as you think. God brought deliverance for him, and he knew it was from God.
2) To gain a deeper understanding, let's dive into Lamentations Chapter 3, not just quoting one verse but looking at six verses together. In our struggles, God's grace and mercy sustain us and His love and compassion keep us going. Clearly, God is good to us. 3) Ultimately, we come to understand that everything we go through has a reflection of the life of Jesus Christ. Our lives are like mirrors to the life of Jesus. Sometimes, powerful and positive elements emerge, while other times, deep pains become a part of our journey. The key to remembering our reflection of Jesus is this: He came humbly first, and when He comes again, that humility will be rewarded with honor. He is our example that before we are exalted, we are humbled. That’s the plan of God.
