TOPIC: SEEKING THE LORD (II)
Read 2 Chronicles 26:3-5
MEMORISE: He sought God in the day of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper (2 Chronicles 26:5)
EXPOSITION
Seeking the Lord means to desire and pursue earnestly, the Lord’s presence, fellowship, kingdom and holiness. Our happiness, security and freedom from anxiety are dependent on our gratitude to God and our perseverance in seeking His face daily (1 Chro. 16:8-11). Seeking the Lord involves turning to Him with our whole heart and in fervent prayers (Isa. 55:6; Jer. 29:12-13), hungering and thirsting for righteousness and God’s presence (Psa. 24:3-6), committing yourself firmly to do God’s will, and abandoning all actions that offend Him (2 Chro. 14:2-7; 7:14), believing and relying on Him as your ultimate Help, as you are confident that He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (Heb. 13:6; 11:6).

Reading the Bible is the starting point for seeking the Lord. God speaks to us, leads us, guides us, and reveals His heart to us through His Word. He tells us how to live in a way that pleases Him. He tells us what He is like; His mind, His standards and His love for us. Try to cultivate the habit of spending time in God’s Word on a regular basis.
Seeking and waiting truly on God is the key to being marvelously helped. As long as we are truly seeking God and His will for our lives, God will also make our lives prosper. As long as Uzziah was in submission to the will of God, he and the kingdom greatly prospered. Seek the Lord the way He expects.
