Sunday we had a quiet time at home and at church. Good to be able to share the word of God with fellow students of the word. We have come to the penultimate chapter of Judges. Strange stories of people who left God out and did what 'was right in their own eyes' One more chapter next Sunday and we move to 1 Samuel.
First Sunday in Lent. Last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. This 40 day period gives us opportunity to prepare our souls for Easter.
The message today was on 2 Chronicles 15: 1-19
Seek the Lord - The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with Him! Whenever you seek Him, you will find Him. verse 2
Clear and repair "When Asa heard this message from Azariah the prophet, He took courage and removed all the detestable idols from the land of Judah and Benjamin and in the towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. And he repaired the altar of the Lord, which stood in front of the entry room of the Lord's temple. Verse 8
Assemble and submit "Then Asa called together all the people of Judah and Benjamin along with the people of Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them. For many from Israel had moved to Judah during Asa's reign when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. verse 9 & the verse for the week.
Every Sunday, our pastor prints out the verse for the week. For this week, we reflect on 2 Chronicles 15: 12, 14 and 15
"Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul.... They shouted their oath of loyalty to the Lord with trumpets blaring and rams' horns sounding. All in Judah were happy about the covenant, for they had entered into it with all their heart. They earnestly sought after God, and they found Him. And the Lord gave them rest from their enemies on every side."
