2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
14 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 I will forgive their
sin and will heal their land.
God told Solomon that the Temple would be a place his people
could come and be assured that their prayers would be heard if they honestly
and humbly would seek God. This promise is true still, to this very day, for
while God's physical Temple isn't standing, his spiritual one is found in the
gathering of his people (cf. 1 Cor. 3:16; Matt. 18:20). What a great
blessing and what a powerful gift for us today! We know that when we gather
with believers and humble ourselves before God and seek his presence he will
hear us. Rather than wait for a grandiose, world-wide effort to start, why not
get together regularly with others who will join us in this prayer effort?
Thought for today:
Do I pray in humility and confession knowing God will answer according to His
will?
