Read: Romans 6:13-14
13 Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. 14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
Warning signs. Too busy to pray, too busy to read the Word, too busy to go to church, now stop, turn around, don’t miss the warning signs.

“Turn to me now, while there is time.
Give me your hearts.
Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
13 Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish.
Because something went wrong yesterday doesn’t have anything to do with what will happen tomorrow.

with all its chariots and horses.

their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick.

it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
Do not fear people.
