SOLOMON offered a prayer for ISRAEL asking for GOD to remember HIS promises to the people, to hear and forgive the people, and to protect the people from crime, war, and enemy attacks, and the land from famine and drought.
"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"
💡2 CHRONICLES 7: 14
So verse 14 comes as GODS reply to Solomon, and HE instructs Solomon on what is required for forgiveness for the people and for healing of the land.
The people needed to:
1) Humble themselves before GOD
2) Pray for forgiveness
3) Continually seek GOD
4) Turn from sinful behavior.
When the people agreed to do these things and change their behavior, then GOD would forgive them and heal their land.

SADLY, WE STILL LIVE IN A AGE THAT DISCRIMINATES AND/OR COMMITS "ANTISEMITIC", HATEFUL CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
IF A GOVERNMENTS RESPONSE TO THESE CRIMES IS TO BE:
"SILENT", "DEVIOUS" AND "SUBTLE", SUCH CRIMES INCREASE
ISAIAH 10: 1-6
1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;
2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that] they may rob the fatherless!
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

Hebrew month of ELUL, which means “search,” is a time of intense soul-searching and repentance in preparation for the HIGH HOLY DAY'S of ROSH HASHANAH and YOM KIPPUR.
ELULis also a time to begin the process of asking for forgiveness for wrongs done to others.
This is one of 13 Devotions on repentance and forgiveness.

At first glance, the geography of Israel does not lend itself naturally to agriculture. More than half the land is desert, and the climate and lack of water resources do not favor farming. Yet, Israel is a major exporter of fresh produce to the world and a world-leader in agricultural technologies.
How did they accomplish this?
Since Jews began returning to the Holy Land and settling there in the late 19th century, they worked hard to restore the land.
They cleared rocky fields, constructed terraces for farming, drained swampland, reforested certain areas, and took steps to counteract soil erosion.
They even washed salty land to make it more productive!
The end result is that since Israel became an independent state in 1948, the total area of land now under cultivation has increased from 408,000 acres to slightly more than one million acres.
Today, Israel produces many types of crops, from wheat and corn to a wide variety of vegetables, and is one of the world’s leading citrus producers and exporters.
While the people of Israel were successful in restoring their land physically, the verses from:
💡2 CHRONICLES 7: 13-14
Reminds us all that there also is a need to restore our land spiritually.
The people of Israel had been summoned to Jerusalem for the dedication of the Temple. Kneeling on a specially constructed bronze platform;
Solomon offered a prayer asking for GOD to remember HIS promises to the people, to hear and forgive the people, and to protect the people from crime, war, and enemy attacks, and the land from famine and drought.
So verse 14 comes as GODS reply to Solomon, and HE instructs Solomon on what is required for forgiveness for the people and for healing of the land.
The people needed to:
1) Humble themselves before GOD
2) Pray for forgiveness
3) Continually seek GOD
4) Turn from sinful behavior
The same is true of us today. Whether we are dealing with individual sin, or the sins of a group, or even a nation, GOD will forgive and bring healing to all those who seek HIM earnestly in prayer and who come humbly before HIM in true REPENTANCE

FROM CURSES TO BLESSINGS
BLESSED, ART THOU LORD GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE, WHO GIRDS ISRAEL WITH MIGHT
🔴THE BLESSING OF OBEDIENCE"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken DILIGENTLY unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy GOD will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
And all these blessings shall come on thee, and OVERTAKE thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD.
BLESSED shalt thou be in the city, and BLESSED shalt thou be in the field.
BLESSED shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
"DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 28 set before the Israelites — and us — a clear
choice between a life of BLESSINGS or one of curses.
BLESSINGS If we walk obediently with GOD, and curses if we disregard Him.
However, for all the wonderful BLESSINGS that we are promised as a reward for following GOD, there are many more curses presented.
In fact, there are 98 curses mentioned in this one particular section alone.
The Jewish sages take note that there are exactly 98 curses, not more and not less, and they make two observations based on that number.
The first is that the Hebrew letters that represent the number 98 also spell the word TZACH which means “TO CLEANSE.”
The second observation is that 98 is also the numerical value of the Hebrew word SELACH, which means “FORGIVENESS.”
Based on these ideas, the sages explain that GOD did not create all these curses in order to inflict pain on us.
Rather, in HIS infinite mercy and love, GOD desired to give us a chance to cleanse ourselves of our misdeeds and to ultimately achieve forgiveness for our wrongdoings.
The point of these curses – which are any difficulties that we experience in life – is to make us better, not bitter.
✔They are meant to raise us up, not keep us down.
Above all, the challenges in our lives are intended to lead us toward a path of REPENTANCE, which is also the path toward BLESSINGS.
🔴This is why the sages make a hard-to-understand comment on this section of the Bible.
🔼They teach that in-between the lines of these curses we can find the source of all BLESSINGS and COMFORT.
🔼FROM curses, we can ultimately receive TREMENDOUS BLESSINGS.
In the Jewish tradition, we are taught to make a BLESSING on the bad and the good that occurs in our lives.
This is because, ultimately, everything – even those things that seem bad – are only for our good.
When seemingly bad things happen to us, we have the opportunity to transform the experience into an overflowing fountain of BLESSINGS in our lives.
We are able to cleanse ourselves, attain FORGIVENESS, and become deserving of all that GOD has to give to us.
Next time an unpleasant event or circumstance presents itself in our lives.
We must resist the urge to ask;
“WHY IS MY LIFE SO BITTER ?”
Instead ask;
“HOW CAN I MAKE MYSELF BETTER ?”
In this way we can transform any obstacle into a receptacle and receive GODS incredible BLESSINGS into our lives.

1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken (listen) diligently
unto the voice of the LORD GOD, to observe and to do all his
commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy GOD will
set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou
shalt hearken (listen) unto the voice of the LORD thy GOD.
12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy GOD.
63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
BLESSED, ART THOU LORD GOD, KING OF THE UNIVERSE, WHO GIRDS ISRAEL WITH MIGHT
