- Have you been serving God and trusting in Him and have found yourself worn out and tired?
- Have you arrived at a place of discouragement?
- Does it seem like, at times, that your situation is never going to change?
- Maybe it seems like your prayer is never going to be answered.
- Or maybe you’ve been praying for a breakthrough or healing and the heavens are silent.
- Well let me encourage you with a Word from the Lord.
- Be strong and don’t be discouraged.
- You serve a Faithful God and the work that you do will be rewarded.
- He hasn’t overlooked you, He sees you.
- Stay strong!
- Keep seeking God!
- Keep trusting!
- Keep believing.

- Your Testimony only comes after you make it through the test.
- In 2Chronicles 14, Asa was King and it says in v. 9 that a man named Zerah attacked Judah with an army of 1,000,000 men and 300 chariots.
- As they advanced "Asa cried out to the Lord his God, “O Lord, no one but you can help the powerless against the mighty! Help us, O Lord our God, for we trust in you alone. It is in your name that we have come against this vast horde. O Lord, you are our God; do not let mere men prevail against you!”
- He cried out to the Lord and the Lord helped him.
- Asa learned an important lesson that day. Just because things are out of your control doesn’t mean that they are out of God’s control.
- His strength came from the Lord.
- After this battle, the word of the Lord comes to Asa, through a man named Azariah, who said, "The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with him! Whenever you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.”
- Then he said what we read in verse 7, "But you must be strong and not be discouraged. The work that you do will be rewarded.”
- And as King Asa pursued God, God blessed Him and the people.
- v.15 says, "They earnestly sought after God, and they found him. And the Lord gave them rest from their enemies on every side.”
- God brought them peace and rest, but it didn’t come without a fight or a challenge.
- Know this, when you chase after God, it will be tested.
- When you pursue righteousness and holiness, you will be faced with doubts and opposition but ultimately, you will discover God’s peace and blessing.
- Those who seek Him will find Him.
- Those who seek Him will discover the peace that He has available for you.
- You will discover his forgiveness and His joy.
- Heb. 11:6 says, "He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
- Today, If you want to be rewarded, seek the Rewarder!
- Today, trust Him with a fresh new faith!
- Seek after Him and enjoy the benefits of His presence.
- God bless you, have a great Tuesday!
