"...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
Today, let's apply this verse to our personal relationship with God.
So often, I hear this verse used as a blanket judgment over our nation.
I am challenged to apply this verse to my own life.
If every single person who claims to be a follower of Christ would cry out to Him, humble ourselves, pray, seek Him fervently and turn from our wickedness, we would see drastic changes in our world.
We cannot live with one foot in His kingdom and one foot in the world.
We cannot flirt with sin and claim the blessings of the righteous.
We must choose this day whom we will serve.
Heavenly Father, I am ready to follow You with my whole heart. I am tired of living a life of compromise. I invite You to examine my heart and my life today. Reveal the wickedness within. Show me where I am grieving your spirit and I will choose to turn from my sin. I humble myself before You, and I trust that You will forgive me. I am willing to do my part to see healing come to this land.
