2 Chronicles 7:14
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 will forgive their sin and heal their land. In today's society, it can be challenging to live a life that calls for us to be different. We excuse away bad behavior and submit to pressures that weigh on us - and we compromise. We try to do things our own way and resist doing things God's way. Second Chronicles 7:14 says, If we seek Him humbly and turn from our wrongdoings, we can have this intimate relationship with Him. If we disobey Him, our lives will be ruined (read Zephaniah 1:1-6). God longs for us to be obedient and desires a deep relationship with us. While we cannot live a perfect life, we can set our hearts and minds on God and seek Him. Are you living on the fence? Have you compromised in your relationship with other Christians, in prayer, or in time with Him and His Word? Are you willing to seek God and turn away from your own selfish ways? Friend, the day is drawing near when God will intervene in each of our lives. In our inability to offer Him anything, He still accepts you and me. God provides a way out through His Son, Jesus, as payment for our sins - for those who place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. What will you decide today? You can choose now to live for Him, sit on the fence, or reject Him and spend eternity separated from Him. This is an act of your will, and no one can decide for you. The time is now. Life Lesson: The warning was for them, and it still applies to us today. Dear God,
Living to tell what He died to say, |
