"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."Psalms 33:12

I've read and heard all kinds of advice about how a Nation ought to be transformed, while a simple recognition of God's covenant offer to a nation goes ignored. The words found in 2 Chronicles 7:14 could be claimed and applied to any nation, but particularly one whose foundational documents and institutions have drawn their inspiration substantially from Biblical monotheism. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." IF we truly want to see healing brought to any nation, then this conditional covenant is for US and the restoration of our land will require our part in the covenant: humility, prayer and repentance, so that God can forgive our sin and heal our land! Brothers & Sisters, true restoration and healing only comes through true repentance and God's grace! With so much work to be done -- may restoration begin with us!
