For eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars. (2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV)

If your heart is loyal to God you do not have to look for Him. He is already looking for you. God told King Asa that He continuously watches for those who are steadfast in their commitment to Him. When He finds them, He makes His presence evident to them. King Asa had experienced God’s awesome power when he faced an army from Ethiopia. “Then Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and three hundred chariots.” (2 Chronicles 14:9 NKJV). God gave Asa victory despite the overwhelming odds he faced. God encouraged Asa to take courage in knowing that God searches the earth for individuals whose hearts are committed to Him.

Life’s challenges sometimes seem impossible. Even if you feel too weak to fight the battle, don’t give up. Keep your heart loyal to God because He consistently watches over you and it’s His desire to demonstrate His strength in your life. God is just as capable of giving you victory in your current challenges as He was those in your past. Take comfort in God’s promise that He watches over you and He wants to give you victory.

God Bless, Pastor Rick
