We will continue this week digging down into the first of four requirements laid out in II Chronicles 7:14 for the Lord to heal our land: for us to humble ourselves. This one factor, as we will see, can have a powerful impact on our quality of life in many ways.
As stated in James 4:6, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (NKJV)....

We continue this week looking into the four requirements laid out in II Chronicles 7:14 for the Lord to heal our land. They are:
1. Humble ourselves

In Isaiah 60:1-5 we are given a prophetic picture of a time when “darkness is covering the earth, and deep darkness the peoples.” However, the Lord also promises the appearance of His glory and the nations coming to His light during this time.

Regardless of how dark it gets,...

Faith in God is also faith in ourselves. This is not faith in our righteousness, wisdom, or even faith, but faith that His work in us is sufficient for anything He calls us to do. False humility is a rejection of God’s adequacy in us and is an affront to Him.
When we criticize other people’s children, are we not criticizing the parents? When we criticize the Lord’s children, are we not criticizing Him, or saying we don’t approve of the way He is raising them?...

Some have called the Christian life an acquired balance between two paradoxes, and the path of life a tension between two paradoxes. There are the counterbalancing teachings of Scripture that are needed to keep us in the Way. Faith can be very close to pride, and to walk in greater faith brings us even closer to this thin line between them.
This may seem complicated, and it can become complicated, if we do not hold to the exhortation of II Corinthians 11:3: “But I...
