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 will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
This verse has often overwhelmed me. What if I’m the only one that prays? Is that enough when God said, “People” not, “person?” Yes!
Solomon has built and dedicated the majestic Jerusalem Temple in honor of the One True God. The celebration was huge and earth shaking. There is a revival like feeling among the people, but God knows that is hard to maintain and so He assures Solomon, there will always be a way to restore the relationship between God and man.
God is love. He is forgiving and healing, but our personal relationship depends on humility and the correct attitude toward God’s sovereignty. From Heaven God can hear, but wicked ways are an obstacle that man must choose to remove so that nothing compromises God’s power to forgive and restore.
One voice, one prayer……it is enough. Accountability begins as a solo act. Any change for a land of many starts with one……… one praying, humble heart.
Love,
