Focus on 2 Chronicles 15:3 – 4 (here @ Bible Gateway) for a minute.
Note how the nation is described:
This created a situation much like we see today. Spend any amount of time on a news channel or broadcast and note the number of stories that document despair. That is the prevailing condition in most of our world.
Notice however the continuation of the theme of seek me and you will find me. Without a teacher, without a law to draw them to God, Israel sought Him. In desperation, looking for a solution the Lord allowed them to find Him.
That should give one hope. The grace and mercy of the Lord is not hindered by the absence of a priest or teacher. I know a pastor in a predominately Muslim country who, in desperation sought the Lord. He allowed my friend to find Him. He is still drawing near and learning more of the Lord on a daily basis.
If we are desperate, if we are seeking, He will help us to find Him.
That is really good news.
