1 Chronicles 7:14 - HEAL OUR LAND (Heber Vega)
“Then the Lord appeared to Solomon
at night and said to him, ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place
for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
“’If I shut up the heavens so that
there is no rain, or If I command the locust to devour [consume] the land, or if I send
pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble
themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their lands.
“’Now My eyes will be open and My
ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.’” II Chronicles 7:13
In previous chapters in II
Chronicles Solomon asked God to make provisions for His chosen people when they
sinned. God answered with four conditions
for forgiveness that are still active for us:
1. Humble yourself
by admitting your sins.
2. Pray to
God, asking for forgiveness.
3. Seek God
continually.
4. Turn from
sinful behaviour.
True repentance is more than talk –
it is walking away in the other direction…changed behaviour. God will always answer our earnest and humble
prayer. You see He loves you enough to
send His only Son Jesus Christ to pay the price of your sin so you can live a
new life just for Him!
Father God, let us always remember that every
promise has a condition and that You always keep Your promises. Please let us focus on You and not what we
can get from You. Let us rejoice in a
love we have no way of understanding or appreciating! Amen.
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.
