Readings:
II Chronicles 15
Acts 22:1-16
Focus:
II Chronicles 15:2b: "The Lord is with you when you are with him; if you seek him, he will let himself be found, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you."
King Asa of Judah sought the Lord, and the Lord was with him during his reign. When the Israelites sought God, he let himself be found by them.
God always wants us to seek him, and he is always willing to be found by us. If we forsake him, however--if we reject him and deliberately turn to self-centeredness and sin--then God will forsake us and leave us to the consequences of our own choices.
But whenever we seek him, God's love for us is so great that he will always let himself be found. He never hides from us. He will let himself be found.

it is like, if we choose to draw near or drift apart - God respects our choice and let's us have it our way
ReplyDeleteYes, I don't know why he gives us free will, but he does. Still, I think he yearns for us, and that's why he provided Christ to make it easy for us to be forgiven.
