Psalm 60:1-12; II Chronicles 7:14
O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been
displeased; O turn thyself to us again. Thou has made the earth to tremble;
thou hast broken it; heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh…That thou
beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. If my people
who 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 forgive
their sin, and will heal their land (7:14).
In light of the carnage that occurred this past week in Boston and other national
disasters that is occurring and has occurred I was led by the Holy Spirit to
remind everyone or call for the nation to pray for the healing of our land. This
is not to say that prayers for our nation aren't being made, just encouraging
everyone to continue praying as our nation needs a healing.
In Psalm 60:1-12 we see what happened and why King David
prayed to the Lord for a healing, because the nation Israel had turned its back
on God and in doing so God had removed His hand of protection. In many ways I
see America
has turned its back on God, but thank God for prayer warriors who is praying
for the healing of this nation, which requires many to turn back to God and
seek His face. II Chronicles 7:14 outlines the steps that God requires to heal
this land and He is faithful to His promise.
Let me close by saying, many of us are witnessing sin in
our churches, communities and families because sin appears to be winning the
battle of ruling supreme, but we as Christians know better because we have the
word of God on which to stand and through the power of prayer and the presence
of God through the Holy Spirit sin will flee.
Prayer changes things.
