These are the Lord's words spoken to the people of Israel after Solomon completed the Temple.

...Of course, even today, these words can be received as words directed at us Christians.
...This passage outlines key points for receiving God's blessings!
The first is "humility."
...It is important to acknowledge your own weakness and sinfulness and to rely on God.
The various trials we experience serve as opportunities to learn this attitude.

The second is "prayer."
This means having spiritual communion with God.
...The third is "seeking my face."
This means seeking God's will.
Instead of pushing forward with only your own thoughts, it is important to ask, "What is God's will?"
And follow His guidance.

The fourth is "turning away from evil paths."
It is important to acknowledge your sins and repent.

Not just words, but actions…
It is about turning away from evil paths and coming to God❗
If we do these things, He will listen to our prayers and
bless us abundantly on this earth.

Shalom 😄
