"Needing Strength?"-2 Chronicles 16:9


"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him"-2 Chronicles 16:9

What does that say to you? Go ahead...read it again...I know you want to, read it again.

Now, what does it say? Does it say anything at all to you? Does it mean anything at all to you? Did you actually read it for more than just the words? Did you listen to see if God may be saying something to you through it or was it something you just skimmed through without giving much thought to what it said or meant?

Here's the deal...this verse in particular tells me that God Himself is searching to strengthen us and not just that...He's looking for commitment from us! You see, God isn't some foreign being in a far-off land that we merely hear about or read about, God is ever-present in each of the hearts that are committed to Him, in fact Psalm 46 says this, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Sound familiar?

God is seeking to deliver you, to give you peace, to give you rest, to love you with a never-ending love, the real question is this, WILL YOU LET HIM?
