HAPPY AND RESTED
..were happy about this 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. (2 Chronicles 15:15 NLT)
In this passage of the Bible we learn several things:
1. When we do things wholeheartedly it produces joy in our life. Joy disappears when we are doing something by force.
..were happy about this covenant, for they had entered into it with all their heart. (2 Chronicles 15:15 NLT)
2. When we earnestly seek God, we will find Him.
…earnestly sought after God, and they found him…. (2 Chronicles 15:15 NLT)
We can’t pretend to know God more and continue to live lightly, superficially, and satisfying only the temporary desires of our flesh.
We need to make a decision and fervently seek God, seek ways to be able to pay attention to this part of our life and put God first in our life.
To be continued…
..were happy about this 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. (2 Chronicles 15:15 NLT)
Think about it:
What you are doing for God, are you doing it wholeheartedly or by force?
What has serving God produced in you?
Have you fervently sought God and put Him first in your life?
