1 Chronicles 3-5
What God said to me – Be careful in times of peace for that is most often when you fall away from Me. Look at the example of Israel. When they were at war and in the midst of battle, they cried out to Me and I answered their prayer and gave them peace. But once they were at peace, they deserted Me and went after the gods of the people of the land. In many ways it is easier to stay close to Me when you are in trouble – you realize how much you need Me because you can’t help yourself. But when times are calm it is easy to fall away if you are not diligent. You don’t feel the urgency for My presence or My help and so you begin to slowly slip away. It’s during these times that you must make the effort to spend more time with Me, not less. You must bind yourself to Me so you will not falter.
