“AS LONG AS!”
II Chronicles 26:4-5
“He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.”

There is no way we can ever place conditions on God. I think most of us have heard of foxhole conversions where someone in grave danger cries out to God, promises to serve Him and become His child ... if only He will save them from the terrible situation they find themselves in. That’s not the way it works! We are to come to God unconditionally!

It works just the opposite with God. As the Master of the Universe, God is free to place   conditions on us. He has promised to bless us, but only when we follow after Him and do the things that He calls us to do. He delights in showering the bounty of heaven upon us when we trust and obey.

There is no way that God finds pleasure in causing us difficulty of any type. In fact it’s just the opposite. God wants us to prosper spiritually and emotionally. It is heartbreaking to observe people who once enjoyed God’s blessing turn their backs on God thinking they can find pleasure in the things of the world. The things of the world are going to pass away, but the things of God will last for eternity.

Here’s the challenge! Are we living our lives to please God? Do we find the highest pleasure in spending time with Him in prayer and reading His precious word? My prayer is that we will seek to find what is right in the eyes of the Lord and then make that our highest priority.
    
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

Thompson June 20, 2016 TO HEAR PASTOR CECIL READ THE DAILY E-VOTIONAL, CLICK ON THIS LINK: pastorcecilathompsondailye-votional.blogspot.com TO HEAR PASTOR CECIL READ THROUGH THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR, CLICK ON THIS LINK: pastorcecilthebibleinoneyear.blogspot.com “ENJOY YOUR SALVATION!” Psalm 51:12 “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.” As a boy, I recall a woman in our church who loved to testify. It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
