For the past several months, we've explored the reigns of kings in the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings. Especially in 2 Kings I have noted time and again where kings have constantly done evil in the sight of the Lord.
Even in the book of Exodus, as the Israelites escaped from Egypt and traveled back to their Promised Land, they turned away from God. Even after Moses's stern warning not to do so, they ignored him.
After all this, God is patient with His people. Despite their constant sinning (evil deeds), He is still patient with them, giving them multiples changes--seven times seven, in other words.
Remember that in your own life. Now, that doesn't give you an excuse to purposefully do something bad, do something immoral. One should still live their life by His Word. But, like a wandering sheep, God and his Holy Son Jesus will be there to bring you back, to comfort you.
God still loves His people. He is gracious. And He is patient.
Amen.
