God's Message Today, " I will hear and I will heal."

We had the good fortune to live in the South for a few years and there is an

abundance of charming covered bridges.  They are wonderfully picturesque

and I especially like this one today with its patriotic touch on such an especially

patriotic day.  May the best men and women have won. May we awaken

on November 3rd, to the sweet smell of success.

God's Message Today:  "I will hear and I will heal."

His promises to me:  "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 forgive their sins and heal their land."

(2 Chron. 7:14)

My response the the Word:  Well wow!!  Who is responsible for the

healing of the land?  "My people, who are called by my name."  I thought

it was somebody else's fault didn't you?  I didn't consider it might possibly

be my fault.  Am I doing the best I can?  Am I exhibiting the fruit of the

Spirit spoken about in Galatians 5:22, which is love, joy, peace, patience,

kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control?  That's

my calling, that's my part.

My prayer:  Heavenly Father,  I want to be all you have called me to be.

With your help and the Holy Spirit revealing to me the wicked ways I should

turn from, I will endeavour to be humble and seek your face and be part

the solution to the healing of this land instead of being part of the problem.

Thank you for making me aware and thank you for giving me the strength

I need to make the changes...for,  according to your Word.  "I can do

all things through Christ who strengthens me."  I believe your Word.

Today's Scriptures:  2 Chron.7:14; Gal. 5:22;  Phil. 4:13.

Wishing you a happy and productive day.
