As I was riding on the Metro this morning, glancing at the headlines of newspapers that passengers were reading, I began to think about the condition within our country and how there is such a need for God's deliverance. If only this world and the rulers/authorities thereof will see the missing link to the continual downfall on this earth.
It's not until we realize AND acknowledge the missing piece that the Lord will begin to heal our land and deliver us from this modern day famine that each of us are in. When I think of famine, I think of a quantity or substance that is scarce or lacking. Your famine may not necessarily be food related or you're struggling to find a meal, but it could be the absence of peace in your mind, your relationship with Christ has become minuscule, you can't seem to hear God's voice, the lack of love that was shown to you as a child, the husband/wife that your heart has drifted away from, the lack of finances to do things you need to, or even your business not doing very well. These things are all inclusive of your modern day famine.
But here's the answer: "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." 2 Chronicles 7:14
So many of us miss it because we have our own way of attempting to relieve the famine in our lives. Seek God's face today. Seek His strength, seek His power, seek His love. There is nothing that the Lord cannot heal your land from.
