Scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14
This is a very popular verse of the bible. We hear it used so very often and it is not to be taken lightly. The Lord told Solomon that whenever anything came upon the land, if the people would do as this verse says, God would move on their behalf. The first thing they had to do was humble themselves. They had to acknowledge their need of God and come to the realization that their only hope was in Him. They had to pray and seek His face, not only in the bad times, but at all times. They had to turn from their wicked ways.
The people wanted to go on in their sin and wickedness and still reap the blessings of God. The blessings of God always came with a condition. When the conditions were met, God would hear them, forgive their sin and heal their land.
If there was ever a time when our land needed healing, it is now. We too need to do as verse 14 says. We as a nation need to humble ourselves, pray and seek God's face and turn from our wickedness, if we expect God to intervene on our behalf. I believe when we do, God will come to our aid just like He promised Solomon.
In humbleness before our God
We need to seek His face
And pray as we have never done
For all the human race
