Snoopy and Charlie Brown are sitting on the dock, looking out over the water. You can just see their backs as they are talking, at least Charlie Brown is talking; Snoopy is listening. Charlie says, “Snoopy, many folks are praying for God to heal our land, but I think He’s still waiting for people to humble themselves, repent and turn from their wicked ways.”
There was nothing funny about this comic strip.
Charlie Brown’s creator found that statement in a book of ancient words:
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
The message was for the nation of Israel. They didn’t heed it. It is still relevant for today: for the nation, for the church or for an individual.
How about you? Could you use this revelation?
Think about it.
