ANNOUNCEMENTS: Q for a Wednesday is open.
COT:
– King Asa of Judah wanted to wipe out & destroy idolatry & direct people back to God
– But this was no easy task. So God sent a spirit upon Azariah to encourage King Asa with this verse
– “But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.” 2 Chronicles 15:7 ESV bible.com/bible/59/2ch.15.7.ESV
– This verse has the power to keep us in the battle, the energy to keep us from quitting when life is tough. God is telling us if you endure, one day you will be rewarded. Not you “might” be rewarded but that you “will” be rewarded. God is ever present & knows your struggles – challenges at work, with family, finances, finding a job, health issues, disappointment, doubt.
– In this verse, no matter what or how long, God tells us to BE STRONG and not give up because we are not alone.
– Psalm 46:1 says “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” Not help sometimes but a very present help
– Keep your Trust in Him and you WILL be rewarded.
