Manasseh Knew
by PamFord Davis

And then Manasseh knew…

“So Manasseh encouraged Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord destroyed before the sons of Israel.

So the Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. Therefore the Lord brought the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria against them, and they captured Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze chains, and led him to Babylon. When he was in distress, he appeased the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. When he prayed to Him, He was moved by him and heard his pleading, and brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord alone is God (2 Chronicles 33:9-13 NASB).”

Some people think they know everything; in reality they’re fools.

“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God (Psalm 53:1a NASB).”

God speaks to us through His word, His messengers and His Spirit. Are we paying attention?

The LORD is God.

“Then God spoke all these words, saying,

‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

‘You shall have no other gods before Me (Exodus 20:1-3 NASB).”

Do you know Him?

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent (John 17:3 NASB).”
