and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.An important truth is contained in this verse, but it's one that most people miss. Many people think God is with them. They think that they are doing God's will, and therefore He is assisting them in their work. However, that's not what this verse says. It says that God is with us when we are with Him. That doesn't mean He is supporting our work. It means we must support His. We must look to what He would have us do, and do it.
We cannot shape God's will to ours. We must instead allow God to shape our wills to His. There is no promise of prosperity implied in this, either. God didn't say He would make us rich or famous. In fact, those things can easily interfere with God's plans, and therefore take us away from Him.
