Today’s Reading: 2 Chronicles 7
Today’s Verse: “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 sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
In Scripture, restoration is God’s Divine work. His work of renewing. His work is healing.
This is a part of God’s redemptive work in our lives. It is His promise of total renewal of creation through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Relying on the Word helps us heal spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
Today’s Scripture speaks to our humbling ourselves, praying, and turning from sinful ways. The result of which is healing.
Solomon dedicated the Temple. God had warned that if He shuts up the heavens due to disobedience that repentance would bring healing.
With majesty and holiness. God desired to show mercy to sinners.
The people were willing to receive this promise. They worshipped and praised God.
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not” (Lamentations 3:22 KJV). He made the sacrifice in our stead. For this we should be very thankful.
When God manifests Himself as a consuming Fire to sinners, we, His people, can rejoice in Him as our Light.
As we behold with true faith all that He has done for us, let our hatred of sin increase.
Let us stand in awe, and sin not. Let us fear the Lord’s displeasure of sin. Let us hope for His mercy. Let us walk in His commandments.
God created us. He created us in a wonderful and beautiful way.
There is nothing that He will not do for us when we dedicate our lives to Him.
Focus on His Promises. He will never leave us or forsake us.
