Re:Verse passage – 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 (day four)
God’s promises and warnings throughout history have always been predicated on man’s response to Him. Blessing would follow obedience, curse would follow disobedience. In the Garden of Eden, on Mt. Gerizim and Mt. Ebal, now with Solomon…blessing will follow relationship, judgment will follow sin.
What story will history tell of America? One nation under God…a nation founded upon a relationship with the Creator God…they were blessed for many generations. Not only was America blessed, but other nations were blessed by them. But the nation turned away from God! Judgment and discipline were pronounced upon the nation. Prayer was removed from the schools and public forums, obedience to the Word of God was shunned and ridiculed, worship was discouraged and honor was refused God.
Do we really believe that we can ignore Almighty God and not pay the consequences? …and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
100% spot on. Thank you.
