Now is the time to seek God...!

II Chronicles 19:3, 7 NKJV

Nevertheless good things are found in you, in that you have removed the wooden images from the land, and have prepared your heart to seek God.” Now therefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care and do it, for there  is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes.”

Shalom! Day #184. Do you know that God still gives us a second chance to repent and reform and to turn back to God? Let's pray. Father, we forgive us for taking Your grace and mercy for granted. For it is by grace we have been saved therefore let us seek You once again. In Jesus name we ask and pray, Amen!

People were flocking to hear Jesus preach and to have their diseases healed, but Jesus made sure he often withdrew to quiet, solitary places to pray. Many things clamor for our attention, and we often run ourselves ragged attending to them. Like Jesus, however, we should take time to withdraw to a quiet and deserted place to pray. Strength comes from God, and we can only be strengthened by spending time with him. The grace of God isn't a license for us to continue to sin. Yes, God always gives a person a second chance to repent and reform and to turn back to God. Let us not take in vain the grace of God. Come, now is the time to seek God. Come now is the time to worship. Come just as you are before the Lord our God. 

In today's verse, we see how Jehoshaphat was reminded and warned by a prophet pertaining to the thing he has done in alliance with Ahab. God's wrath was upon him, but nevertheless, there were good things found in him. So God gave him a chance to repent and to seek the Lord. God's one purpose is that humankind will repent and begin to seek God once again and that the relationship between man and God be restored. Now therefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care and do it, for there  is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes. You cannot bribe God to do things for you. I've heard many saying such statement,  "Lord, if You do this for me, then I will do that for you." Don't you think that it's a kind of bribery? Anyways, God is saying to is that NOW IS THE TIME TO SEEK HIM....TO SEEK HIM MORE...!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
