Ezra 5:1-17; Daniel 6:1-28; Revelation 2:1-17
And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power…So the Lord smote…and the Ethiopians fled. 2 Chronicles 14:11-12
Asa cried out to God about the enormity of this threat to Israel. From the Lord’s heavenly perspective, the problem was not as daunting. In response to Asa’s cry, He smote the Ethiopians and the rest ran away. Sometimes our problems can seem massive, but our God is sufficient for every situation. Do we trust Him to fight our battles, and meet our needs? He is a great God and a loving Father. “If God be for us who can be against us” (Rom. 8:31). —M. Robins
Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms,
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.—Elisha A. Hoffman
