"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars." nâ€â€II Chronicles‬ â€16‬:â€9‬ nThis message came to Asa, the King of Judah. Asa began ruling and was so strong in the Lord even taking down the high places. But Asa turned away from following the Lord to the point that even in sickness, he sought physicians, but did not seek the Lord. Verse 9 is such a powerful verse to me. The eyes of the Lord are combing the earth to find someone who has a loyal heart. Asa could have been the one that the Lord found loyal. Asa knew better. There was peace in the kingdom under the rule of Asa, but now because of a heart that is not loyal to God, now there will be unrest, now there will be wars in the land. n nTakeaway: How exciting to know that God is looking for a loyal servant. Will you be that loyal servant? The beneficial payment comes from being loyal to the Lord. It costs when we are not loyal. There are overwhelming benefits when we are loyal. You may not see the benefits at first, but remember, His eyes are looking. He will see your faithfulness and the reward will come! And regardless of the reward, He is deserving of our faithfulness! He is deserving of our all! Amen! n
