If you seek the Lord, he will be found by you

2 Chronicles 15:1-19
The Spirit of God came on Azariah son of Oded.
The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. But in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found by them.
 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.
They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soulThey sought God eagerly, and he was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.
King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maakah from her position as queen mother,because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah. Asa cut it down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
Why?
Asa keep God's decrees and obeyed his commandment, so God blessed him, and then sent priest Azariah to encourage him.
When Asa heard this words of the Lord, he ordered all his people come to seek the Lord, so the Lord gave them rest on every side.
Obey the commandment the Lord not only seek the Lord with all my heat and all my soul , but also get rid of the evil things, idols and detestable images.
Take courage to seek the Lord, because from eyes of man that seems no hope, seems impossible, but it is true if seek the Lord will be found. Maybe it will take a little time.
How?
Take courage to seek the Lord, He will be found by us.
