“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.”
2 Chronicles 7:14

 

It’s one of the most quoted verses of the Bible but I believe God is trying to get our attention.

 

IF . . . MY PEOPLE
     The sinners saved by grace
     The born again of the human race

 

WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME
     The redeemed
     The beautiful
     The bride

 

WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES
     Broken, bended knee
     In reverence, humility

 

AND PRAY
     For ourselves
     For our nation
     For our leaders

 

AND SEEK MY FACE
     Long for, desire deeply
     Anticipate His presence

 

AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS
     Evil that abounds
     In our hearts
     All around
     We’ve forgotten God.

 

THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN
     I am still on heaven’s throne
     I see, I know all
     I hear, I work

 

AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN
     All sin, every sin
     Every evil, wickedness
     Every perversion of My Name

 

AND HEAL THEIR LAND
     Every kernel, every nook
     The places that shook
     The grains upon the shore
     I’ll restore.

     

     Your hearts will see
     The glory, majesty
     Revival will fall once again
     My Name will be proclaimed
     Your nation will be great

 

BUT ONLY IF. . .
     You humbly pray and
     Seek my
     Holy face.

It’s never too late to ask God for forgiveness ― to repent and turn from our evil deeds. It’s never too late to seek God’s face and ask for Him to restore our hearts to Him.

 

From My Heart to Yours,
Marcie
