repenting a wicked reign

Psalm 76:11,,,make your vows to the Lord….which is also mentioned in Deut (4 or 5 or 6?). Jesus told the people not to make their vows to the Lord…God must have grown weary from all the broken vows and decided it would be better if people would quit not honoring Him by breaking their vows.

2nd Kings Manasseh reigned 55 years.. my first thought is that he must have done something right to rule that long, but no, he did not. Merciful God must have been waiting for him to repent, to acknowledge His ways, and he never did but led his people to sin, and burned his son in an offering to some false god. 55 years of evil and then another son reigned for 2. Well, i am 41 and hope to God that my repentance leads to some fruitful gain for his glory…as true repentance surely will, for God desires all to be saved. Though I must make sure I am completely resolved to stand by God and turn from my wicked ways. Let love reign!
