The Answer Given

2Chronicles 7:14"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 sins, and will heal their land."


We live in some dangerous times. It seems as though the world has really lost its way. Lives are taken as though they were meaningless, and the people who are taking them do so without fear of repercussion. But God gave us the answer to all that might hinder us this day, yet we have yet to surrender to His word.

He tells us all we need to do, us , His people those of us called by His name. Christians, children, if we would humble ourselves and pray. If we would come off of our high horse, if we would realize that we need Him in our life, and then call upon Him as we turn from our wicked ways He would heal the land. We who profess the Lord need to first stop the wrong and evil we are doing, take off the fig leaf of self righteousness and come back to God that the lost world might also seek the salvation of the Lord then will He hear from heaven and save us. If we really look honestly at our relationship with God ,we will see it has actually deteriorated some. God has chosen us to be representatives of his character, an example of his Love, a reflection of his caring,sharing and concern for a lost world. But over the years we have drifted away from God, and have become less like the holy people God wants us to be We have become self focused, self absorbed, we no longer resemble the Father we claim to love so much.

Here is our answer to all of life's problems. Let us pray more and we would have to protests less. If we turn to God and cast all of our cares upon Him we wouldn't have so much to worry about and we could do that which He called us to do which is the bear witness that He lives to a lost world.
