#soap # 2 Chronicles 15 ## Title: Hide and Seek ## Scripture: (2 Chronicles 15:2) He met Asa and told him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin! The Lord is with you when you are loyal to him. If you seek him, he will respond to you, but if you reject him, he will reject you. (NET) ## Observation: When I was a kid, I loved playing hide and seek. As a parent, I loved playing hide and seek with my kids. We loved playing hide and seek in the dark with flashlights. When my girls were really little, they had trouble finding me so I would sometimes keep my flashlight on so it would be easy. This made me really bad at the game, but it was on purpose. The goal for me wasn’t really to hide. It was the joy of discovery for my girls. God is a lot like that. He tells us to seek Him, but He makes finding Him very easy. The goal is not for Him to hide and make our lives frustrating. It’s all about the joy of discovery for us. So, experience the joy of finding God by looking for Him every day. ## Application: Seek the Lord through your personal devotion time. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for making Yourself easy to find.
