Repent
Scripture:
17 From that time on, preaching was part of Jesus’ work. His message was not dissimilar from John’s. Jesus: “Turn away from sin; turn toward God. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 4:17 The Voice)
What does repent mean? It means to turn completely away from sin and completely toward God. Just simply to go another direction. John prepared the way with this word and some of the people responded and did change their way. Then with Jesus, again some responded with repentance and others did not.
Father God, most times for me the act of repentance in some form is a daily exercise. Thank You for showing me the way to grow, to stay aware, and to always be looking for Your path and Your way. I love You. AMEN
As one who belongs to You, I will rejoice and find shelter in You. As I do what is right, I will continue to praise You. Psalm 64
