Seeking Jesus First Oct. 14, 2024

Are you with The LORD? “The LORD is with you while you are with Him.”

“Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the 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, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.” (2 Chronicles 15:1–2, NKJV)

Are you walking with God through faith in His Son, The LORD Jesus Christ? He has promised to be with you while you are with Him. He has promised to be found by you when you seek Him.

“This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” (2 Timothy 2:11–13, NKJV)

God is faithful to His Word. God is faithful to Himself. God is faithful to those who endure. God is faithful to the faithful. If we deny Him, He cannot deny Himself. The LORD is GOD. Our connection to Him is faith in Him and in The ONE whom He sent. “If we confess Him before men that He is in us, He confesses us before The Father that we are in Him.” If we deny Him before men, He denies us before The Father.

The LORD is GOD. It is not He who must come into agreement with us. However, He dealt with and remove the thing that made it impossible for us to align with Him. He even gave us the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness through faith. We have been given faith as a gift. We cannot approach God without it. If you have had faith in the past and have walked away from it, ask The Father to help you find it again.

Standing is a matter of believing. If you wish to remain stand fast in the faith, keep God’s word in your heart and in your mouth. Keep it there when times are good and it will be there to sustain you when times are bad.
