Reading: 2 Chronicles 7: 14
Reflection: Many people try hard to live by the Bible’s teachings. There are a lot of rules that we should follow as Christians that are outlined in the Word of God. I think Jesus did a fantastic job summing all the laws up in this one: Love one another. But I also think this verse gives us a few more specifics. If those of us who are God’s children humble ourselves, pray, seek God, and turn from our wicked ways, we will be rewarded by our Heavenly Father. Our reward will be forgiveness of sins and healing from God. To take it a step further, if we believe in Jesus Christ, we will be given eternal life. It’s amazing that such a wonderful gift that God gives is so easy to receive. Pray today for those who are seeking that gift and have not yet found it. –Chad Hershberger, Camp Mount Luther Director

It's the nasty, big "if" that sometimes makes us question whether God's grace is really true. I like to take "if" with the sense of "since." That makes things turn out: "Of course, I believe in Jesus, eternal life is mine, a gift from God." But then maybe IF is still IF.
