2 Chronicles 14-16 Part 4

I want to take you back to a verse that we looked at early this week and ask you to think about it one more time. Chapter 15 verse 2 says, "The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you." I don't believe for one moment that God forsakes His children. But I can tell you this when we walk away from God and live for ourselves it feels like God has forsaken us when in fact it is us who has forsaken Him. Why does it feel that way, because our fellowship with Him is broken? Sin keeps us from deep communion with God. A wall has been built that separates us. In fact God is right there but He gives us the responsibility of choosing to follow Him or not. He will not force us; he will not make the decision for us. Its up to you and me to choose God way or ours. Today are you seeking Him? Would your lifestyle say that you are following Christ? Would your parents and siblings say that you are following Christ?

Father helps us to see the importance of living a godly life. Help us to realize that the choices we make will shape our lives. Give us strength to seek you.
