Steps of Faith for the Deaf

By Joyce Webb 2026

Hello,

Azariah was a prophet/preacher in the Old Testament. He told the people of Judah:

“The Lord will stay with you as long as you stay with Him !

Whenever you seek (look for) Him —you will find Him.

But if you abandon (leave, ignore) Him, He will abandon you.”

II Chronicles !5:2 New Living Translation

—————————————————–

There is not much more a person can add to this verse. It is very clear and easy to understand.

If you want God to be with you—then you need to stay with Him.

In our country, when someone leaves us—-we often say—Good-bye.

The word good-bye—-started long ago as “God be with ye.”

The Spanish say “Vaya con Dios.” Meaning: “You go with God.”

Their way of saying it is the way God would say it.

It is not —-God going our way—-it is us– going God’s way.

Good-bye for now. I’ll write again.         Sincerely, Joyce Webb
