Persecution is Worth the Reward

2 Chronicles 14:11&12: "Then Asa called to the Lord his God and said, "Lord, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O Lord our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; let not man prevail against You." So the Lord routed the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled."

2 Chronicles 15:2: "..."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."

2 Chronicles 15:4-7: "But in their distress they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him, 'In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands. Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress. But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work."
