Heal Our Land

On Sunday people from different churches within Harrismith gathered together for the Global Day of Prayer. It was amazing for me to see! And it reminded me of the EACH movement going on in metro-Detroit.

South Africa is such a beautiful and diverse country – and this gathering was just as beautiful and diverse. Black and White. Old and young. Different native languages. Different denominations and styles of worship. All united to pray and honor our one true Savior - in a small town in the middle of South Africa, across the nation, and around the world.

In the 10 days leading up to this we had been praying for different things each day – for God to revive and unite His people, for Him to reveal Himself in mighty ways and be the Lord of every area of our lives, for transformation and provision, for forgiveness and reconciliation, and that the Lord be glorified across the world.

As we prayed, we also studied and reflected on Joel 2:12-32 which calls God’s people to return to Him, gather, reignite hope, celebrate all He is doing, and trust in His promises. The passage is a good reminder that even as Believers we can drift away in the currents of day-to-day life.

2 Chronicles 7: 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 will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Who could use some healing these days?
