They sought God eagerly, and he was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.  2 Chronicles 15:15 

 

Stay in God’s presence until you create memories strong enough to keep bringing you back. If you don’t, you’ll be lured away by lesser things. 'How long should I stay in His presence?' you ask. (1) Until you’ve truly repented. Listen: 'Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret.' (2 Cor 7:10) (2) Until your mistakes have been dealt with. Listen: 'People who cover over their sins will not prosper. But if they confess and forsake them, they will receive mercy' (Prov 28:13) (3) Until your anger subsides. Listen: 'My [own] peace I now give to you, stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed.' (Jn 14:27) (4) Until your fear leaves. Listen, 'Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you,' (Isa 41:10) (5) Until your pain is healed. Listen: 'I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord.' (Jer 30:17) (6) Until your strength is renewed. Listen: 'They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint' (Isa 40:31). All these things can be found in God’s presence. So stay there, until you receive from Him what you need!
