2 Chronicles 33The words “what were you thinking?” come to mind when we read about Manasseh. He busied himself undoing all the good that his father, Hezekiah, had done. But even evil Manasseh had his breaking point. Things got so bad that he was carried away into exile himself before he humbled himself, and sought the LORD. Even then, God was in no way obligated to interfere in Manasseh’s self-inflicted judgment. The fact that God did interfere, and bring Manasseh back from exile, is just another example of his great grace – a grace that none of us deserve. That is why it is called grace.
LORD, give us the wisdom to humble ourselves before you are forced to judge us.
