Why Men Lose God
'And the Spirit of God came up
on Azariah, son of Oded,
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 i
with Him; and If ye seek Him He
will be found of you; but If ye for
sake Him, He will forsake you." 2
Chron. 15:1-2.
Asa was the third king of Judah;
he had been leading his forces In
victory against the Ethiopians; and
on his return home, was met by the
prophet with the words above quoted.
These words of Azariah were
spoken many centuries ago, but
they are as true and pertinent this
hour as when first they issued from
the lips of God's prophet
The Lord is with men, WHILE
THEY ARE WITH HTM. But when
men forsake God and His ways and
flout His commandments; just then
has God turned away from men.
If men were to put in as much
time seeking God as they do seek
ing sin, God would be found of men
and sin all over the world would
cease. For when men earnestly
and honestly seek God, THEY
FIND HIM. And when men find
God, they also find relief from sin
and all its deadly aftermath. It is
to be hoped that before it is ever
lastingly too late, the world will
awaken to the fact that none of
the plans or schemes of political
parties or selfish plans of men over
the world will avail to settle our
international troubles BUT ONLY
MEN FINDING GOD AND FOL
LOWING IN HIS WAYS. MEN
LOSE GOD BECAUSE THEY
TURN THEIR BACKS UPON
HIM AND GO AWAY FROM HIM.
