Psalms 78:34“When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.”
Every person has a different breaking point. For some personal tragedy is their limit, for others its just being at a low point in their life without hope of change, and yet for others its extreme measure like losing everything and having everyone you know being put in a position that they cannot help you in any way.There was a King of Israel that made such a choice. He chose to go against everything he had been taught when he was growing up and through pride, bring the destruction of his kingdom and enslavement of his people. The story didn't end there though. After he was in captivity he sought the Most High and was granted a chance at repentance.
2 Chronicles 33:11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,13 And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
Unfortunately for most people coming to the end of themselves is a long hard journey. If you are watching a loved one go through this, be encouraged, as long as there is breath in them there is hope for them! Pray, press in, and trust that the Most High will keep his promises.
