Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend; When Asa became king of the southern kingdom, we are told, "Asa did what was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God." He destroyed the foreign altars and places of worship and encouraged his people to seek God and follow His rules. And he built up an army of over half a million valiant warriors from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Then Zerah, leader of Ethiopia came up to fight against him, with and army of one million men. (2 Chronicles 14:2-8)
"There is no one besides You to help" David prayed, "Lord, all my desire is before You; and my sighing is not hidden from You... For I wait for You, Lord; You will answer, Lord my God." (Psalm 38:9 & 15) When we face seemingly hopeless situations, where do we turn? Do we give up? Or do we struggle to overcome the situation on our own? Or do we trust in God who has already saved us? Our God who is sovereign Paul wrote, "In the end, Jesus will hand over the kingdom to our God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death." (1 Corinthians 15:24-26) God will overcome everything that we fear - even death! As he declared through Isaiah, "No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their vindication is from Me." (Isaiah 54:17) Eli my Mogen - God my Shield - thank You that I can trust You in every situation.
