2 Chronicles 7:14

(Part 1 of 2 from 1/13/21) • When King Solomon dedicated the Temple of the Lord to God, he prayed that God would always hear the prayers of the people. Solomon knew that there would be times when Israel would wander away from God and need some tough love to realize the error of their ways, so he prayed in advance that God would show them mercy. God promised that he would always be willing to forgive and heal his people after seasons of divine discipline.
