Do You Really have it?
2 Chronicles 15:1–15 (KJV 1900)
Ill.
There's a story about a proud young man who came to Socrates asking for knowledge.
He walked up to the muscular philosopher and said, "O great Socrates, I come to you for knowledge."
Socrates recognized a pompous numbskull when he saw one.
He led the young man through the streets, to the sea, and chest deep into water.
Then he asked, "What do you want?" "Knowledge, O wise Socrates," said the young man with a smile.
Socrates put his strong hands on the man's shoulders and pushed him under.
Thirty seconds later Socrates let him up.
"What do you want?" he asked again.
"Wisdom," the young man sputtered, "O great and wise Socrates."
Socrates crunched him under again.
Thirty seconds passed, thirty-five.
Forty.
Socrates let him up.
The man was gasping.
"What do you want, young man?" Between heavy, heaving breaths the fellow wheezed, "Knowledge, O wise and wonderful..."
Socrates jammed him under again Forty seconds passed.
Fifty.
"What do you want?" "Air!" he screeched.
"I need air!"
"When you want knowledge as you have just wanted air, then you will have knowledge."
Same thing goes for God, when we desire God above everything else, we will have Him!
The text today deals with the reign of Asa, king of Judah.
He was a king who, for the most part, sought the ways of God,
14:2 – And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God:
He led Judah in two reforms, taking away the altars of false worship and leading the people to follow the Lord.
The prophet Azariah brought word from the Lord and motivated Asa to desire the Lord above anything else.
These verses deal with the lives of God’s people thousands of years ago, but they are rich in application for our lives.
In them Azariah reveals the need to obtain and possess the presence of God.
The same principles that applied to the nation of Judah remain relevant and essential in our lives today.
As we look at this text today I want to ask you this question:
Do you really have a desire for God?
If so, we must do as Azariah revealed to Asa.
Let’s take a few moments to consider the presence of the Lord.
I.
