Another mass shooting, this one in a church on a Sunday morning. Oh my. God we need some help here. Hear our cry as your people. We repent of our evil ways. We confess that we have thought we know better ways to live than to follow your precepts. We are sorry that we have become so arrogant as to think we have better answers than the ones You gave us. Do not leave us to ourselves. Hear our cry for mercy, hear our voice again. Leave us not to ourselves. Leave us not…
“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.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
Israel did not repent, they did not pray and they were cast from their land, swallowed up by their enemies. The land did not receive the healing God desired to give it. We should pray church. We should pray for God to hear our voice again. We should pray for repentance and humility to rule the land and guide the minds of our leaders and our citizens. We should pray for Godly leadership to rise and corruption and greed be brought to an end. Humble us God. Humble them! Bring us all to our knees.
~Grace & Peace~
