"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 well hear form heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." NKJV
I was struck by this verse when a preacher pointed out the order of things in this verse. The first thing is to humble ourselves, pray and seek God's face. Then we turn from our wicked ways. Then God from heaven will hear us and forgive us and heal our land.
Sometimes we get get caught up in being pure before God, but here it is the reverse. Humble ourselves before God and seek his face first. Pray to the almighty and turn from our wicked ways. Then God reaches from the almighty heaven and touches our lives.
