“Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent In dust and ashes.”
Job 42:6 KJV
Job answered God, “I’m sorry—forgive me. I’ll never do that again, I promise! I’ll never again live on crusts of hearsay, crumbs of rumor.” This is what God says about repentance, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back and change your way of thinking, turn back in repentance from your evil ways!’ This is what Jesus said at the start of His ministry, “Repent, change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” When Job repented, God blessed him immensely and restored all his losses. When we repent today in the new covenant, we acknowledge that Christ’s death on the Cross was for our personal sins and His Blood cleansed us from all sin, and in exchanged makes us not only children of God but joint heirs with Christ. Therefore, let’s humble ourselves with an attitude of repentance and insignificance in the Presence of the Lord, and He will exalt us, He will lift us up, He will give us purpose. Amen!
