If we think the problems confronting the nations of the world can be solved through diplomacy or through 'bail-outs' or through land-for-peace deals or through war, we are wrong.
There is one solution to man's dilemma and it is offered in the Word of God that cannot fail and cannot lie. It is found in II Chronicles 7:14: "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, then will I hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land."
The sickness of sin pervades the globe. Men call evil good and good evil, as the Bible says they will do (Isaiah 5:20). We live in an age when, "Professing themselves to be wise, they have become fools" Romans 1:22.
If we who call ourselves people of faith in Christ will humble ourselves, repent of our complicity in the problems of the world (our neglect of prayer, our failure to witness our faith to the lost, our compromise of the Lord's high standard in order to attain the gratifications afforded by the world), then HE will do HIS part and heal our land.
REVIVE US, O, LORD, LEST WE PERISH IN THE QUAGMIRE OF THE WORLD's GOOD INTENTIONS-- IN THE QUICKSAND OF MAN's FAILED EFFORTS TO REMEDY ALL THAT IS WRONG WITHIN HIS WORLD AND WITHIN HIS OWN HEART!
