Never Forgetting You

S: “When Judah realized that they were being attacked from the front and the rear, they cried out to the LORD for help. Then the priests blew the trumpets, and the men of Judah began to shout. At the sound of their battle cry, God defeated Jeroboam and all Israel and routed them before Abijah and the army of Judah.”

2 Chronicles 13:14-15 NLT

“So Judah defeated Israel on that occasion because they trusted in the LORD, the God of their ancestors.”

2 Chronicles 13:18 NLT

“and he went out to meet King Asa as he was returning from the battle. “Listen to me, Asa!” he shouted. “Listen, all you people of Judah and Benjamin! 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.” 2 Chronicles 15:2 NLT

“All in Judah were happy about this covenant, for they had entered into it with all their heart. They earnestly sought after God, and they found him. And the LORD gave them rest from their enemies on every side.” 2 Chronicles 15:15 NLT

“Don’t you remember what happened to the Ethiopians and Libyans and their vast army, with all of their chariots and charioteers? At that time you relied on the LORD, and he handed them over to you. The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. What a fool you have been! From now on you will be at war.”” 2 Chronicles 16:8-9 NLT

O: They were being attached on every side. They cried out to God and he heard there battle cry and defeated the Israelites. Judah trusted in God  and as a result defeated Israel. God is the prime example of the Golden Rule, do what is done to you. When we stay in his presence, he stays with us. When we seek him we find him. When we abandon him, he abandons us. It is in earnestly seeking him, finding him and staying within the shadow of his mighty that we are given rest from our enemies. We can't forget that it is by our reliance on God that we have made it those far. That he hasn't left us and has defeated our enemies and healed us from our addictions. 

A: Therefore, I must continue to seek, find and dwell in the presence of God. Than my heart shall be fully committed to him and his will for my life and he will see me and strengthen me. If I forget, I will be in constant war.

P: Heavenly Father, holy, holy, holy is your name!!!! I remember you. As a child when I was sexually abused you sheltered me. I remember you. When we were first taken away you reunited us all. I remember you. You gave us safe travels to Denver and kept a roof over our head despite our behavior. I remember you. You held my hand through every struggle, every situation and every circumstance. You have never forgotten me. I remember when you healed me from my addiction and blessed me even though I went against your will. You have always paid attention to the attitude and battle cry if my heart. Even now oh King. You remember me by reminding me of your power. I won't forget you. I won't forget that it was my yearning and out cry for a savior that you heard me and defeated all my enemies and all things from my past. I won't forget that power is on my marriage today. I can't lose focus from my hearts commitment and my souls covenant with you. Not my will, but yours be done. I'm never forgetting you. In Jesus name, amen!!!
