The Lord is with you while you are with Him

The Lord is with you while you are with Him

“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 15:2b

The Lord. He is the creator of the heavens and the earth. He determines the course of the planets and the days of our lives. He designed the water cycle; the rotation of the earth and He still knows how many hairs are on your head at any given moment of any day. The Lord, strong and mighty, who sits on an eternal throne, who one day will have every knee bow before Him, is with you and He is wanting you to seek Him.

This verse is clear and strong in its message. The Lord is with you while you are with Him. God’s presence in your life is equal to how much you seek Him or allow Him to be your Lord. A car sitting in a garage will go nowhere on its own. It must be turned on, driven, and given regular maintenance to give you the best driving experience. The same holds true for your faith.

We may want the Lord to be with us in all our circumstances, decisions, and relationships. Just wanting it though, doesn’t mean that it happens. We must seek Him. This does not mean that God is hiding. This simply means that action is required on our part to truly find Him, to know who He is. We can only truly find Him when we are actively seeking the Lord through prayer and spending time in the Bible.
