[Thursday's Devotional] - Believing God is the main job we have

….The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you. For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the Law to instruct them.  But whenever they were in trouble and turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him out, they found him.

2 Chronicles 15: 2 – 4 [NLT]  

As we continue to seek the Lord for answers to our needs, let's make sure that we remain committed to Him for this is one of the conditions to answered prayer. If we abandon Him and His word, we forfeit His grace. This is a very clear pattern recorded in the Old Testament for our benefit – whenever Israel abandoned their God, He also abandoned them.

I know Satan may already be trying to deceive us by thinking we are in the New Testament age. Don't be cheated. God is the same, today, yesterday and tomorrow. How many of us know that if God only stops watching over us or just stops being God in our lives and gives us the free will to do whatever we like, we are finished?

Instead of ignoring or running away from God, we should come to Him for protection and blessings all the time. So don't wait for trouble to knock on the door for you to seek Him.
