1 Samuel 12:20 KJV
And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
Though Israel had sinned in asking them a king instead of letting the Lord be their king, and though God had shown himself and sent thunder and rain that day, yet this was no reason to turn away from the Lord. God would not forsake them if they would not turn aside.
How often do we, when we realize we have done wrong, in self-pity do worse?
The flesh once bent on self-destruction goes from one bad choice to another. The answer to breaking the cycle is just this, turn not aside from following the Lord. Though we have sinned and done wickedly, still, serve Him will all our hearts.
God will bless such a decision, though we did wrong at the start.
