Another key word in this verse, is "Pray"; Think about how often you set your mind to pray, only to daydream, think about lunch, your phone rings, (in my case) the dog wants to go outside
2 Chronicles 7:14
“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.”
Church of God (Anderson IN) founder D.S.Warner said: "The devil deceives in two ways; some other way than Christ, and some other time than now."
I think it was John Wesley who said: "Sometimes all you can do is pray; but, you can do nothing until you have prayed"
Meditate upon His Word; find a scripture to recall throughout the day, and prayer will soon follow.
I was reading another thread this morning where someone asked a honest question about a subject trending in society, and was quickly pounced upon by the trolls defending the issue- no discussion, no debate, for almost 8 pages, which seems to be quite common. The Lord brought a scripture to me, while skimming through some of the posts from Romans 14:4 "who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master (lit. "lord" small case) he stands or falls." Or as Romans 6:16-22 says "you are slaves of the one to whom you obey. Many things in society, won't be changed by voting, or joining a party, cotillion, because those who oppose you (like the 'trolls' piling on in your thread) are following the voice of the hireling, they've attached themselves to. Look through my posts, and you'll see I've indulged in futile arguments with the hireling's sheep.
I was convicted a few years ago with Matthew 9:36 that Jesus had compassion upon them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and He began to teach them- not take them to the voter registration, but to teach. occasionally, you may have to win them without a word.
