Why,
Lord, do You speak to us the Word of warning and the promise of
blessing? There is a good way to which we must turn - and there's also a
bad way from which we turn. How can we really appreciate and embrace
the good way if we do not see the clear contrast between the good way
and the bad way? Help us, Lord, to choose the good way - to choose
Jesus, who is "the Way, the Truth and the Life" (John 14:6).
You call us, Lord, to return to You. You promise to welcome us (2 Chronicles 30:9). Where does our returning come from? Where does our rejoicing come from? They both come from You. You put it into our hearts - to return to You (2 Chronicles 30:12). What joy there is for us when we return to You - "The good Lord pardons every one who sets his heart to seek God" (2 Chronicles 30:18-19).
