2 Chr 14: 8-14

Ever face a problem or a situation that seemed insurmountable or hopeless on the surface? Asa did as his much smaller army (albeit brave) went up against an army that was probably twice his size. The Cushites decided to attack the Judeans and thus pushed Asa's back to the wall. Knowing the fragility of the situation, he did what an godly king did - he prayed. His prayer was fervent and since he was a righteous man, God did answer him and his people with a resounding victory and to the victor belongs the spoils. Victory against the Judean would be a defeat against the Lord and knowing this was enough for the Lord to carry them to victory. The other result was that the neighboring armies would not attack Judea given the decisive and overwhelming victory that the Lord did against the Cushites. It is so refreshing to read about a man who "truly gets it". Asa got it and is a shining example of what a godly king should be. I'm sure he had his faults, but so far the good far outweigh the bad.

Good day yesterday which culminated with me going to a Blue Rock game with a fellow co-worker. Still careful of what I ate over the past few days since I have an extensive blood work exam today. Praying for favorable results.... Still sooooooo looking  forward to my vacation starting this weekend.


Praise for today: Lord, there is none like you to help the powerless against the might. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and in your name we have come against this vast army. O Lord, you are our God; do not let man prevail against you. 2 Chr 14:11
