Have you ever been bumbed out because of some mistakes you have made?
All of us have regretted decisions we have made.
GREAT LEADERS LEAD A COMEBACK!
Today in the One Year Playbook we learn what happens when we continue to Ignore God.
"How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the provinces has now become a slave." Lamentations 1:1
"Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The LORD has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe." Lamentations 1:5
This is referring to Judah and how the Nation once ruled the world. Now they are enslaved again like they were in Egypt many years ago.
This can also apply to the USA.
Most importantly it applies to us as individuals. God did an Incredible Work in our lives and we were at the top of the world. We were praising God every moment of the day.
When we received Christ we were Freed from the slavery and the bondage of sin. We were free of bitterness and regret. We stopped second guessing ourselves because we knew were in God's Will. We lived a Life of Confidence because our Confidence was in the Lord.
GREAT LEADERS LEAD A COMEBACK!
Just like Israel and Judah we gradually stopped seeking God and were not Ready for His Word to be performed in our lives.
As a result we have become enslaved to addictions, emotions, depression, self doubt ect... and have passed it on to the Next Generation.
Now we are depressed and feel like we have no hope.
So what do we doer?
GREAT LEADERS LEAD A COMEBACK!
"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14
- Humble
- Pray
- Seek God's Face
- Turn 180 degrees
Yes, we can come back and Win! When we Win on God's terms we will build a deep foundation for current and future generations.
GREAT LEADERS LEAD A COMEBACK!
