Buscar a Deus
Buscar a Deus é o chamado mais urgente da Bíblia. Buscai primeiro o Reino de Deus. Os que buscam de todo coração encontram — porque Ele se deixa encontrar pelos que o procuram.
Buscai ao Senhor
Buscai ao Senhor enquanto se pode achar. Buscai e achareis. O Senhor recompensa os que o buscam com diligência.
Seek Yahweh while he lets himself be found;
call him while he is near.
Seek Yahweh while he lets himself be found;
call him while he is near.
Judgment and Salvation
"I let myself be sought by those who did not ask;
I let myself be found by those who did not seek me.

He gives power to the weary,
and he increases power for the powerless.
Even young people will be faint and grow weary,
and the young will stumble, exhausted.

They shall go up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not grow weary;
they shall walk and not be faint.
Seek Yahweh and his strength;
seek his face continually!
Seek Yahweh and his strength;
seek his face continually!
David’s Charge to Solomon
"And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and a willing mind, for Yahweh searches all hearts and understands every plan and all thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you abandon him, he will reject you forever.
then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and will pray and will seek my face and will turn from their evil ways, then I myself shall hear from the heavens and will forgive their sins and heal their land.
And he went out before Asa and said to him, "Hear me, O Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you while you are with him. And if you will seek him he will be found by you. But if you forsake him he will forsake you.
Asa’s Religious Reforms
Now Azariah the son of Oded—the Spirit of God came upon him. And he went out before Asa and said to him, "Hear me, O Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you while you are with him. And if you will seek him he will be found by you. But if you forsake him he will forsake you. Now Israel has been without the true God many days, and without a teaching priest, and without law, but at its trouble he returned to Yahweh, the God of Israel. They sought him, and he was found by them. And in those times there was no peace for the one going out and the one coming in, for great tumults were upon all the inhabitants of the lands. Nation was crushed by nation, and city was against city, for God threw them into confusion by all sorts of trouble. But as for you, be strong and let not your hands be weak, for there is reward for your labor."
And when Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the vile idols from all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities that he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim, and he repaired the altar of Yahweh that was in front of the portico of Yahweh.
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those sojourning with them, from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for many had deserted to him from Israel when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him. And they were gathered at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. And they sacrificed to Yahweh on that day from the war booty they brought back: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. And they entered into a covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and with all their inmost being,but all who will not seek Yahweh the God of Israel should be killed, from young to old, from men to women. And they took an oath to Yahweh with a great voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with horns. And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they swore with all their heart. And they sought him with their whole desire, and he was found by them, and Yahweh gave rest to them all around.
And also Maacah, the mother of Asa, the king removed her from being queen, because she had made a repulsive image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her repulsive image, and he crushed and burned it at the Wadi Kidron. But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was fully devoted all his days. And he brought the holy objects of his father and his own holy objects into the house of God—silver and gold and vessels. And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
