The Lord is with you

 2 Chronicles 15:1-2 amp. "THE SPIRIT of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.  And he went out to meet Asa and said to him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him [inquiring for and of Him, craving Him as your soul’s first necessity], He will be found by you; but if you [become indifferent and] forsake Him, He will forsake you". The Spirit of the Lord points out three eternal facts here not only to Asa, Judah, and Benjamin, but to all of us. First, the Lord is with you while you are with Him. Second, if you seek Him, He will be found by you. Third, if you become indifferent and forsake Him, He will forsake you. God gives us all a choice. We all have our own will. I choose to serve the Lord, and seek Him. God will do all He can to get our attention, just as He did with the Prophet Azariah. God is with us as we are with Him. He will never forsake us or leave us. He is Holy and full of Love, and this Holiness and Love is what we should desire to have in our own lives. This only comes when we are walking with Him and seeking Him. Jesus tells us in Matt 6:33: "But seek you first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you". His interests must be first, and God guarantees His Provision. However, if we forsake Him, He will forsake us. Seek Him with all your soul today.
