2 Chronicles 14-16 Part 2

Wow what an incredible testimony of the work that God can do in the hearts of man. Chapter 15 gives to us an account of Asa’s practice of godliness that changed the heart of a nation. In verse 2 a prophecy is given to Asa. Wow what an incredible truth for us to practice. The Lord is with you while you seek Him. If you seek Him, He will be found, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. Wow what incredible truth. Wow what incredible promise. If we seek God, He will be found. And seek God is exactly what Asa did, with all his heart. Because of this a nation also was challenged to step up and did they ever. The nation responded and the people also turned to God. You see godliness not only affects you, but also affects those around you. The opposite is true as well. The practice of godlessness also will affect you and those around you. Its interesting but if you look at one of the practices of godliness that Asa did, was to remove all the idols or false gods out of the land. We have so many things in our lives that are pulling for our attention, so many of those things are things that will never last. God is eternal and seeking Him is eternal or will last forever, well beyond this life. What are you seeking with your life? What has your undivided attention? Does God? Today why not seek Him.

Father thank you that if I seek you, you will be found. Thank you that if I seek you, you will be with me. Give me the focus today to seek only you and to block out the distractions from finding you.
