{{PLAGUE happens}} —-> RESPONSE of people>> “…but they refused to repent of what they had done.” (v 11 NIV)
Plague after plague demonstrated the intensity of Your wrath of judgment, Lord, and yet many refuse to change their ways and follow Your ways.
“Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what EARNESTNESS, what EAGERNESS TO CLEAR YOURSELVES, what INDIGNATION, what ALARM, what LONGING, what CONCERN, what READINESS TO SEE JUSTICE DONE…” (2 Corinthians 7:10-11 NIV)
Father, when my ways are not in line with Your ways, call me to change, to do the turnaround for which repentance calls. Produce in me the traits above. Make me just like Jesus with each passing day. Amen.
