THE TURNING POINT
Jeremiah 31:18 (KJV)
“I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God.”
Turn: To reverse the position or placement of: to turn a page, to turn a person around. Have you ever wished someone would turn the page already, let us see something different than what we have already seen, or, read us the rest of t...he story. Being stuck in the mud is not fun for anybody.
When “will I” meet the person I really want to meet, when “will I” change for the good, when “will I” get out of here, I am tired of this place etc… There are many reasons why we would want things to turn around. We must come to this realization, things must change in us first, and we must be turned before the different takes place.
There is usually something faulty in us as to why we cannot get any further than we have already been. We are not stuck in this mud because someone or something placed us here, it is simply because we step into this place ourselves.
It is not until we have come to the “bemoaning” point we come to our “turning point.” It has been said, “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Regret, disapproval, usually turns into grieving, this is bemoaning.
Regret and disapproval can cause anyone to be stuck in the mud. It usually takes great love to get us beyond ourselves, love greater than us, love that sees what we cannot see. Rescue us Oh God, Turn us and we shall be turned.
