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 the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
The Righteousness of God’s Judgment
"I was sought by thosewho did not ask forMe;
I was found by thosewho did not seek Me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’
To a nation thatwas not called by My name.
He gives power to the weak,
And to thosewhohave no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face evermore!
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face evermore!
"As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.
if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lordis with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
The Reforms of Asa
Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded. And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lordis with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. For a long time Israel hasbeen without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law; but when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them. And in those times therewas no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands. So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity. But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!"
And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the Lord that was before the vestibule of the Lord. Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. And they offered to the Lord at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the spoil they had brought. Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. Then they took an oath before the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting and trumpets and rams’ horns. And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the Lord gave them rest all around.
Also he removed Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned it by the Brook Kidron. But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days.
He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils. And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.

In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water.

To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Your face.
