In His Steps: 2Chronicles 7:14

"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 will heal their land."

Even though this verse is part of God's promise to Solomon for Israel, I believe that God spoke to me through this verse at a low point in my life. I had been disobedient to God and was totally blind to my sin. Through the course of my sinful decisions the weight of my disobedience came crashing in on me and destroyed my family.  
He opened my eyes to my sin and took me on a journey that stripped away every ounce of control I believed I possessed. I began a journey of earnestly seeking God's face to discover His will for my life. The ugliness of my sin was before my eyes and for the first time in my life. I mourned how I had grieved the heart of God. The good news is that there is forgiveness of sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Repentance by seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness needed to be a lifestyle re-birthed from the depth of my soul, so the healing of my land could begin.
