Mid-Week Meditation

Then Asa called to the Lord his God and said, "Lord, there is none like you to help the powerless against the mighty. We rely on you". 2 Chro.14:11

All of us desire to cut problems out of our lives. We take all precautions, but problems do come. Sometimes, unexpectedly, and when they come, there is no other option than fixing them. King Asa lived a good and exemplary life before the Lord. Judah was experiencing peace and rest under his rule. We would want that to be the reward for his good and proper life. Yet, suddenly and unannounced, the vast Cushite army came to fight against him. Asa looked at the army's vastness and felt powerless to face them. But he knew very well where to look immediately. Instead of looking down at the valley where the enemies encamped, he decided to look upward to heaven. He offered one of those short but beautiful prayers in the OT. He did not underestimate or deny the enemy's power; he humbly accepted his powerlessness and confidently expressed his dependency on God alone. The result was a great victory.

Is there an unexpected problem stormed into your life? Do you feel powerless to face something too powerful for you? Are you losing your heart by looking down at the valley? Don't spend too much time looking down at the valley; you will gain nothing. Neither underestimate the power or deny the reality of the problem. Look above; express your inability to God; tell him you rely on Him alone. "Those who look at him are radiant. Their faces are never covered with shame. Psalm 34:5". This will be true for you, too. So, get up and go to God with your fear. Get ready to see how he works for you.
