Day 69 March 10 2 Chronicles 15:2

2 Chronicles 15:1-7Then Azariah son of Obed, moved by the Spirit of God, went out to meet Asa. He said, “Listen carefully, Asa, and listen Judah and Benjamin: God will stick with you as long as you stick with him. If you look for him he will let himself be found; but if you leave him he’ll leave you.For a long time Israel didn’t have the real God, nor did they have the help of priest or teacher or book. But when they were in trouble and got serious, and decided to seek God, the God of Israel, God let himself be found.At that time it was a dog-eat-dog world; life was constantly up for grabs—no one, regardless of country, knew what the next day might bring. Nation battered nation, city pummeled city. God let loose every kind of trouble among them.“But it’s different with you: Be strong. Take heart. Payday is coming!”The King Asa listened to what Azariah said. He went out and destroyed the idols and removed the evil presence in his kingdom.What would it take to remove the idols from my life? What would God have me do to show that I will stick with him? What do I need to do to look for him?This world is no longer a for sure thing. No one know what the next day might bring. Let it be different with me. Let me be strong. Let me take heart.Lord, forgive me for not putting you first in my life. Forgive me for my sins of not trusting in you. Cleanse my heart and make me new. Fill me with your righteousness.Today, Lord, give me your strength. Help me to do what you set before me. Give me your courage to fulfill my mission. Light my way with your peaceful joy. Show me how your love me. Make my paths smooth. Clear the way before me.Now take me hand and lead me through this day.
