A Bit of Inspiration

2nd Chronicles 7:14 If My people turn from their wicked ways, then I will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Centuries earlier, the Lord told King Solomon what would change the moral compass of God's people Israel. It was to start with humility and confession. "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" (2nd Chron. 7:14).

As a Christian community, we should first take an inventory of our own personal lives.  As we humbly seek God in prayer and repentance of sin, changes begin in our lives. God may then use us to change a nation's moral compass.

Revive us again, fill each heart with Thy love: May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.

Nothing is politically right which is morally wrong.

Friends are essential for our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Friends listen to our heartaches without blaming us for having problems. The defend us when we're attack. They are happy when we succeed and sad when we fail. They give us wise counsel to keep us from making foolish choices. They even risk making us angry for the sake of making us right. My  friends have done all of this and more for me.

Perhaps the best known friendship in the Bible is that of Jonathan and David. Jonathan was heir to the throne of his father Saul. But he knew that the Lord had chosen David for that role, so he risked his own life to save his friend. (1 Sam.20).

As the Bible shows us, we need to choose friends carefull (Prov. 12:26). The very best friends are those who are friends with God and who strengthen our relationship with Him. (1 Sam. 23:16).

I do not ask for many friends, but give me Lord, the few whose loyalty and faithfulness are first of all to you.

True friends are like diamonds-precious and rare.

If my people turn from their wicked ways, then I will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

NOTHING IS POLITICALLY RIGHT WHICH IS MORALLY WRONG.

I look for three components, which are the secret to getting to know someone: What you say about yourself, what others say about you, and what you've done. Now think of  what this means as you seek to know God: What does He say about Himself, what do others say about Him, and what has He done?

To know God in a new way, ask all three. Read the Bible to fine out what God says about Himself (Ex. 34:6-7: Lev. 19:2;Ner.32:27). Then find out what the writers say about Him and His remarkable attributes (Ps. 91:1-4; Rom. 1:16-29; 1 John 4:8-10). Finally, take a look at the amazing things God God has done (Gen. 1:1; Ex. 14: 14:10-31; John 3:16).

Get to know God. Be His biographer. It will teach you more about Him then you thought possible.

Inmortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hide from our eyes, Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious--Thy great name we praise.

The God who created the universe is the God who you can know.

Do you have your Armour on? You can find out how by reading below. This is taken from Ephesians 6:10-20

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Eph 6:10-20 (KJV)
