nation healing

There is a very interesting scripture found in the Old Testament – “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.”

Interesting to me because it was originally written as applying to the nation of Israel many years ago, yet it still applies to a people or nation that closely follow the instructions therein written. This is because God’s Word is not only true but is Truth itself.

The Truth of the Word only works when taken to heart – literally – to ourselves first and then passed on to the ones around us in the form of love and care for others. God’s Word will change the world for the better and bring about healing of every kind, but only when it is walked out in love by the ones that cling to this Word and the Savior it is written about. ec
