SAA Notes
Asa trusts and obeys. His kingdom is made strong. God preserves the King and people from overwhelming enemies. The Lord powerfully answers the prayer of the King, the Christ of God, for his people. There are many lessons here for us too.
SJA Notes
* Father God in Heaven, we cry to You, we say ‘You are our refuge, our portion in the land of the living.'”
“… And commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to keep the law and the commandment.”
Here is a king!
He turns the people to the true God (following instruction from God’s word), and revival springs up.
Asa is a king who cries out to the Lord in battle. We see the Lord rewards him and the army, even as they faced seemingly overwhelming odds.
We today are part of God’s people, and we match toward the goal – The bring shining gates of glory, our inheritance now-in-part and then-in-full.
God in the Person of the son, Jesus, is our conquering King. He has fought the great battle, and at the last trump He will appear on the white horse, His NAME Faithful and True.
This is our King today, this is our God!
* God Above,
Thank You for Jesus – Our King who marches at our head, who leads us through this life, who went before us and prepared the way.
Thank You that He is our great High Priest who always and continually intercedes for us.
Thank You for saving us Lord. Please wash us clean today. Please show us what You want for us today from Your word.
Amen.
