Be True To God And Yourself

2 Chronicles 15:2
"And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, 
Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, 
while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be 
found of you; but if ye forsake him, 
he will forsake you"

    As long as we are with the Lord, He is with us. Then our enemies are His enemies, and He shows Himself strong on the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him.  As Joash found it in the earlier part of his reign. We need to ponder the blessings set out in Ps. 81. "I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee." (Ps. 81:14-16). But directly Joash listened to the princes and forsook the house of God and gave license to the Asherim and idols, God was turned against the people and became their enemy. The reign that commenced in sunshine was sadly overcast, and the king perished by the hands of conspirators and never came to the sepulcher of the kings.
   Then disaster after disaster fell upon the nation. They had to learn that they had been chosen for a special service in the world and could not be as others. Yet amid these dark days, what gleams of light there were!
    My Friends, it is not just our nation that disasters have be fell 2 upon, it's the entire World.  We are in a time of destruction. Why do I say that? I say that because so many people have turned against God.  2 Timothy 3 Tells us that people will turn away from God in the last days. Understand This! There will be times of great trouble. People will love only themselves. They will want lots of money. they will think they are better than others. They will say how great they are, and belittle other people. My Friends, people will not love their own family. Things will be said about others that are lies. They will not want to conduct themselves properly. They will be like wild animals and just as dangerous. They will hate everything that is good. They will turn against friends, and will not care what they do. They will not love God. They will seem to worship God, but refuse to let God work in them. You must stay away from these people. 
Amen!
