2 Chronicles 14:1-15

GOD BLESSED ASA WHO RELIED ON THE LORD

Keywords 14:11

Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. 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."

 

1. God gave Asa rest (1-7)

 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord. He removed even the

high places. He commanded Judah to seek the Lord and to obey his laws and

commands. Then no one was at war with Judah, for the Lord gave him rest. He

built up the fortified cities seeking the Lord who gave them rest on every side.

 

2. The Lord gave victory to the powerless (8-15)

 Though Asa had a large number of soldiers who were all brave fighting men, he

felt powerless before the Cushites who marched out with a vast army and three

hundreds chariots. But Asa relied on the Lord who helps the powerless against

the mighty. Then the Lord struck down the Cushites. So Asa carried off a large

amount of plunder.

 

Prayer Lord, you are mighty God who gives rest to those who seek you. You give

victory to the powerless against the mighty when they rely on you.

One Word The Mighty Lord is our God!
