Would You Like God to Give You a Second Chance?
“Now the Word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time”
Jonah 3:1
August 25, 2020
Ponder This
Have you stumbled in your walk with God? Then you’ve come to the right place. The Bible is filled with people who stumbled badly and needed a second chance.
- When Jacob got away from God, Jacob went back to Bethel, and God gave him another chance.
- When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, Jonah went the other way. But God had a plan for Jonah, and He gave him another chance.
- God wasn’t through with Simon Peter when Peter cursed and denied Christ. Thank God He gave him another chance.
- Saul of Tarsus was persecuting the early church, arresting believers. Jesus stopped him on the road to Damascus. A new man, Paul, became the author of much of the New Testament.
Practice This
I want to tell you, He can give you another chance. Study the Bible and see how its pages are filled with those who got a second chance from Him. God can mend a broken life if you will give Him all the pieces. He wants to give you a second chance.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
