Comment: Jehovah’s love for His children is so great that He will never forsake them. (Romans 11:1-4) The text for today makes us to understand also that there is nothing too hard for Him to do for His children who trust in Him. (Genesis 18:14; Numbers 11:23; Luke 1:37). Therefore, if at any time they pray, and call on His Name, but do not get an answer, they should search themselves thoroughly. Perhaps, “sin lieth at the door”. – Genesis 4:7.
After the LORD had destroyed the heathen nations and their gods, out of the land, king Manasseh of Judah built again the high places and altars that Hezekiah his father had broken down. He raised altars for idols in the house of the LORD, sacrificed his children by fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom. (Jeremiah 7:30, 31) He used enchantments, familiar spirits and witchcraft. Therefore, the LORD sent the captains of Assyria to take him away in chains and all Judah with him into bondage. With much afflictions, Manasseh became sober, and humbled himself greatly, before the LORD. God had mercy on him, and had him brought back to his throne in Jerusalem. The king then removed all the altars, temples and idols out of the land, rebuilt all what he destroyed from the Temple of God. He turned the hearts of the people to seek the LORD, and commanded that they worshiped the LORD, God of Israel. – 2 Chronicles 33:1-20.
