"All this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth. The LORD did not hesitate to bring the disaster upon us, for the LORD our God is righteous in everything he does; yet we have not obeyed him" (Daniel 9:13-14).
This comes from a prayer of Daniel recorded well over 2500 years ago. On this, our National Day of Prayer, we need to ask ourselves: Do we seek God's favor by turning from our sins? Do we seek His favor by giving attention to His truth? Have we obeyed Him when He brings disaster?
One thing is clear. God's favor doesn't come via any means but "turning from our sins and giving attention to (His) truth." Otherwise, what goes around...comes around. SDG. 5-5-11
