Turn Thou Us

“Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭5:21-22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Has God rejected us?

Is He so angry with us, with you and with me, that there is no hope?

Have we passed the point of no return?

“Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:” ‭Isaiah‬ ‭30:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God made a way for His children to walk in health and to have security in the midst of the storms, but because of our unrepented sins, we are cut off from His provisions! Because of the hardness of our hearts, we seek anything and everything, but Him, in our quest for deliverance! 

He is our last resort!

When all else fails - pray!

“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.” Psalms‬ ‭108:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If we would but turn to Him!

“For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.” Isaiah‬ ‭30:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If you cry out to God for help in your time of need, He will be there! However, you must turn or turn back to Him. There is no help for those who refuse to follow Him! For Him to rescue you from destruction, you have to, MUST, surrender to Him! If you turn to Him with your whole heart and make Him your LORD, He will deliver you, but it MUST be on His terms! He is God, you are not!

He wants to be your Provider, but you MUST humble yourself and become obedient to His WORD! You MUST repent of your sins; the hidden sins you think He can't see! The ones you have stuffed so far down in your heart, that even you have forgotten! Confess and repent of the unforgiveness, the bitterness, the fear, the anger, the judgments that you have held onto, that separate you from Him!

“Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit. For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭30:8-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Turn thou us unto thee, O Lord, and we shall be turned”

Even so - MARANATHA!
