For many reasons, we live in amazing times. One amazing development has been the ability to frequently see friends and relatives who live far away from us. Of course, we can travel to close the distance between us, but we can also just “dial them up” and see them through Face Time, Skype, and any number of apps. Seeing their faces brings a special kind of comfort and healing to our souls.
II Chronicles 7:14 says, “if my people who are called by my name 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.” If we want to make a big impact in our community, it will require that we be humble, repent from our sins, seek God wholeheartedly, and pray. By seeking God’s face, His presence, God will forgive us and bring healing and restoration to our community.
