"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 I will forgive their sin and heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14
God is speaking to all who have called on the name of the Lord to be their Savior. Do you know Jesus as Savior or do you just know of Jesus as a Savior. That one issue must be settled if you are to be called by His name. Being humble in the sight of the Lord should be natural. Praying is of major importance on a daily basis. It is not formal or through someone else, but direct one-on-one discussions with the Lord about anything you desire. Ask Him if He is having a good day. Have you ever thought about God having a bad day. Think of the times you have hurt His feelings or said things that disappointed Him. When His loved ones disobey Him and turn to sin He is having a bad day. Seek His face in all that you do and say. He cannot look on sin, so free your self from the hold of sin, turn away from any wicked ways and ask for forgiveness, then seek His face. When Jesus hears from Heaven He hears God's voice of forgiveness of sin and heals us inside and out.

The Heart of Man
"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
I Samuel 16:7
Do you believe God's word is true? If you do, do you follow His commands. Do you love your neighbor as your self? Do you love your spouse as Christ loved the Church? This scripture wants us to look not at the outward appearance of man but at his heart. To be able to do this you have to have Christ on the throne of your heart. Is that where you have Him or is He over there at the side waiting for you to finish YOUR business! What I found out this week is that I pick and choose the things I want to follow as it relates to His commands. That disturbed me greatly! I want to be able to see the heart of man and not judge him with my poor weak brain. Please God, grant me the wisdom to see the heart of man and not just his outward appearance.
