As a wake-up call I would like to point out how President Ronald Reagan quoted II Chronicles 7:14 in his 1981 Inaugural address when he said: “If my people, which 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 will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
It seems to me that affluence can deaden our hearts, lessening our dependence upon God?
How long has it been since our nation really cared what God thinks about much of anything? If we don’t take a stand, what can we expect to happen to our country?
We want God to heal our land but let us continue down the same path, to allow us to maintain our lifestyles that we have grown accustomed to, but do we really want to humble ourselves, pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways?
We want to be blessed without really caring what God thinks about much of anything.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
