What
an awesome promise we find in this verse of scripture. But we also
find an awesome responsibility on our part. First God is talking
only to those who have accepted Jesus as Lord, and now are called "Christians".
He says we must humble ourselves. Here are some of the definitions
listed in the dictionary for the word Humble. Low in position, not
important, modest in spirit, not proud and deeply respectful. Another
dictionary said showing awareness of one's shortcomings. As we study
what being humble really means we see that it is a change in lifestyle.
We must change, we must pray, we must turn from anything that is not Christlike,
and only then will God be able to do His part and HEAL OUR LAND.
