Fully committed
2 Chronicles 16:9
God is constantly searching for men and women who’ll radically trust and follow him. His passionate search found its mark in Asa, king of Judah. The first time his nation was invaded by a mighty army, King Asa cried, “Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you” (2 Chron. 14:11). God miraculously intervened. But with the passing of years, Asa’s fire grew cold.
When Judah was invaded a second time, God was waiting for the opportunity to help. But Asa did not ask him to get involved. Instead, he turned to the skills of hired soldiers.
Though Asa’s passion for God had diminished, God’s intense commitment to his people had not. As he longed to be there for Asa in his moment of need, he wants to do the same for us. Commitment to the Lord means to invite him into our moments of greatest vulnerability. Don’t settle for “hired soldiers” when Almighty God is available!
What are the big challenges you’re facing? -Invite God to step in.
