Original Broadcast: November 2009

Monthly Theme: Judah's Kings

[Azariah said to Asa:] "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."
(2 Chronicles 15:2)

Seek and Find

It's the basic understanding of life. If you seek something, you will find it. If you forsake something, it is forsaken. This is kinda the basic idea that we have in this life. After all, Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you" (Matthew 7:7).

God called Azariah to speak these words to King Asa, the fourth generation after David. Asa had seen the fruits of the three previous kings in Judah. Something had to be done. God sent His Word through Azariah to instill the need for God in Asa's heart.

God is with those who are with Him. Those who believe in Him have Him in their corner, taking up their needs as their heavenly Father. Those who seek God where He promises to be found find Him. Those who forsake God are forsaken by God. If you don't want God, God doesn't have use for you. However, if you turn and repent of forsaking God, He will forgive you. This is the reformation that Asa began in Judah. This is the reformation God does in your life through His Word. Heed His Word and find Him with you always. Amen.
