Crave for God; Day232

2Ch 15:2  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.

Replace the name Asa with your own name and read it loud.  Not too many people seek God everyday.  Our days are filled with so many activities that we put God at the lowest priority.  I am guilty on this at times especially when I am on vacation.  There is just too many things to do at hand and we don’t recognize the need for God anymore because all is well and in order.  I have to regroup and regain normalcy again as soon as I notice that I am drifting away.  Thinking God is supposed to be 24/7 so that when the storm comes, you are already in the right mindset and no need for panic.  What happens when we are heading toward a cliff and we are not in communication with God, we hit the brakes and ask for God’s guidance.  In God’s perspective, we should be communicating with Him 24/7 and when we are heading towards a cliff, all we have to say is "”Lord, let’s jump off the cliff together”.  These bad things in life happen when we disobey God’s basic principles by putting ourselves in the wrong place with the wrong people.  By violating the law of the land, ie. doing 85mph on the highway when the speed limit is 65. I’ve seen quite a few accidents on the road lately and I’ve concluded that if we only follow the law of the land, there will be no accidents (maybe less).  Same thing with our day to day problems, if we just follow the basic principles of love and relationship, there won’t be any separation of family.  Of course we don’t know these things especially we are in the midst of the storm. Easier said when we are in not in the storm and not even experiencing difficulties in real time.  But one truth, if we put God first, we cannot go wrong in our decision making.

Key learning:
1. Seek God and not God seek for us
2. If we seek Him, we will find Him
3. Once we find God, He will not forsake us
4. Don’t seek Him, you will be forsaken
