2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) 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 will forgive their sin and heal their land.
The world is a troubled place these days. We’re living in times of constant turmoil. Much more so than at any time in the past.
Each one of our nations is facing different types of problems. Here in the USA, our government leaders on both sides have driven our nation into economic and social chaos. Nobody wants to take responsibility for any of the problems. Most politicians and other leaders are too busy pointing their finger at someone else to accept any part of the blame for what’s wrong. Because of this, nothing gets fixed or resolved.
Many other nations in the world are in similar situations. There is political unrest everywhere, with governments being tested, and in some cases, overthrown.
Lawlessness is becoming a way of life for so many people. Respect for authority has dwindled down to almost nothing.
And the fear of God is pretty much a thing of the past. Selfishness and self centeredness have become a way of life for the vast majority of the people in most countries.
It sounds pretty bleak, doesn’t it?
But there is hope! God can fix the problems of our nations. There is nothing too big for Him, but there is a catch.
The “catch” is that we, God’s people, must humble ourselves before Him, pray and seek His face, and repent… turn from our wicked ways. It is not the unbeliever who is supposed to turn from their ways, but the people of God. We hold the keys to helping fix the problems of the world.
We don’t necessarily have to run for political office to make change happen. But we should keep up to date on what’s going on so we know how to pray and what to pray for. It’s important that we keep informed, as long as we don’t get caught up in it or let it affect our mood and our attitude.
So, people of God, let’s pray! Let’s humble ourselves before God, repent and pray. And believe that He will heal our land.
