If
Calamity Comes Upon Us, Whether The Sword Of Judgment,
Or
Plague Or Famine, We Will Stand In Your Presence
Before
This Temple That Bears Your Name ...
Scripture
2
Chronicles 20
9 ‘If
calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment, or plague or
famine, we
will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name
and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and
save us.’
Observation
We
will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save
us! This was King
Jehoshaphat's
words of faith and part of his prayer as a vast army was approaching
to destroy his people.
You
and I need to do the same thing. We need to rely on the Lord to take
care of us.
2
Chronicles 7:14
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.
God
has not changed. The God of the Old Testament is the same God of the
New Testament and He is the same God today!
He
will keep His promises. Trust Him!
Application
I
will cry out to the Lord during this time of calamity
that has come upon us.
How
about you?
2
Corinthians 1:20-21
20 For
no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in
Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the
glory of God.
Jeremiah
33:3
Call
to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible
things you do not know.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You never change. You are always the same. You are not
fickle. What ever promise You make I know that You will keep. All of
Your promises will happen. You will keep every single one of them.
All of the stories that I read in Your Word all help me to know Your
heart. They help me understand what a loving and kind heavenly Father
You are. Help me to trust You with all of my heart. Help us get
through this difficult time in the life of our country and our world.
