Psalm 147:1-11
GOD GATHERS THE OUTCASTS
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. Psalm 147:2, NKJV
The first 'outcasts' were Adam and Eve who traded their inheritance for a fruit. Consequently, they and their children became fugitives.
However, it pleased God, in His great mercy and love, to gather them again, after they have acknowledged their wrongs and repented. Truly, no good father will make his child suffer hunger for whatever offence.
Similarly, God has been gracious unto us. He hopes that someday, we would realise our wrongs and come back to Him. That is why, even while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. No true child of God feels good after sinning because he knows that sin impairs his relationship with God. Sin has torment and makes a Christian unproductive.
If you cannot connect to the throne of grace, you cannot obtain mercy and find help in time of need. You must find your way back to God and He will turn your captivity and have compassion on you (Deuteronomy 30:1-3); He will therefore restore you. How you need that now!
Please, don't remain an outcast. Go back to your Father; He is waiting to have you back. Confess your sins and beg for pardon right now.
• Birthday Blessing: I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8
