Crying Out to the Lord

Scripture 2 Chron 14:11 And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!”

Observation: I wish I had the faith of king Asa. Up against unbelievable odds he knew God can do anything. Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, is the way this chapter starts. He honored God and was obedient and he had faith that God will answer his prayers and there was no reason to fear. God fought the battle and defeated Asa’s enemies as Asa knew he could. That is the kind of faith I need to be in God’s will and know that no matter what happens God will take care of it.

Application: I need to have a stronger faith. God has never given me a reason to doubt Him, He has always come through. It’s not God’s abilities, but my lack of faith that causes things to go wrong from time to time. My Lord has always been there for me and He comforts me each day I need to be obedient and trust in Him with all of my heart and mind.

Prayer: Dear Lord increase my faith. Give me the faith of Asa not doubting you for a moments and to always be obedient to all you call of me. Take this anxiety away and give me the faith I will need to make it through each day.
