Lesson learned?
Let him return to the LORD,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7
Seek the LORD while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Seek the Lord...
Seek!
Zeph 2:3
Seek the LORD, all you meek of the earth,
Who have upheld His justice.
Seek righteousness, seek humility.
It may be that you will be hidden
In the day of the LORD’s anger.
