God’s Word for Today - 01 Oct 2024
Judges 20:26 KJV — Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 01 Oct 2024
In human affairs, whether at an individual, family, community or national level, there are certain situations and challenges that cannot be overcome except by prayers with fasting. God says to those who are called by His name that if they would humble themselves, repent of their sins and cry unto Him, He would hear their prayers, forgive them and heal their land. Many followers of Christ today seem not to understand the necessity for sorrowful repentance and forsaking of the sinful lifestyle when they approach Jehovah for help in their time of need. That, I believe, is a key reason why many turn to false pastors and prophets in vain. God’s promises are sure but you have to come to Him on His own terms. Are you ready for that?
Pray: Merciful God, help me to understand Your way and walk in it. #Mok
