"As long as (s)he sought the Lord..."
I'm soaking in my soul in these seven words and taking the life-changing message of this powerful book with me, trusting that, in the seeking, I will be changed and God will be honored. -- Jodi Detrick, former columnist, The Seattle Times. Author, The Jesus-Hearted Woman and The Settled Soul.
Starting our walk with Jesus is good. Finishing well is even better. A lot of spiritual miles are traveled in between.
Uzziah was anointed king at age sixteen. But he died a leper. What happened? He began as a praying king. "As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success." But hes topped doing what brought him success. He missed the "As long as" aspect of prayer.
We don't have to miss it. We can seek the Lord with passionate, persevering, persistent prayer -- and finish strong. Our goal is to cross the finish line with joy!
