The Heart, Home, and House of God
The Heart, Home, and House of God
Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law;
but when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.

Response to the Word
Response to the Word
It is time to rebuild the altars in our hearts, in our homes, and in the house of God!
It is time to seek the Lord while He may be found!
Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
