Do you remember the saying, that anyone who forgets history is bound to repeat it. Why do think that saying rings true? If you look at man’s history, the same thing keep happening over and over again. One, war has never ceased. There might be a lull between wars, but it happens again and again. Two, man’s inhumanity toward each other. Every body remembers the Holocaust of World War II. But do you remember Rwanda and where the Hutu tried to exterminate the Tutsi. What about the Syrians that drove half of their population out of their country. Or the Russians who are fighting against the Ukrainians for their oil.

Why do you think that all of this continues? Solomon who was considered the wisest man that every lived said this.

“All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”Ecclesiastes 1:8,9.

Solomon saw the world as it is, not as people thought they were. He saw the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life. It’s not very pretty to see who man really is. And before you say, I am a good person, God says there is none righteous. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. That means we are all sinners and unless we are saved by the grace of God, there is no hope of anything.

So, how do we receive the grace of God? God wrote it down some 2500 years ago.

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14.

If you want to see yourself and the world changed, turn from your sin and repent. Ask God to forgive you and accept Jesus into your heart.
