Help from Above

¹¹ Then Asa called to the Lord his God and said, “Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. O Lord, you are our God; do not let man prevail against you.”

2 Chronicles 14:11 


Greatly outnumber by the Kingdom of Israel, Asa calls upon God to save them from eminent death. Even being outnumber and ambushed God routs the opposing heretic army and sends them into disarray. Asa then destroys several hundred thousand men in the assistance from God. 


Asa first acknowledged that he was weak and powerless without God. He knew he was up against something he couldn't defeat on his own. He also had faith that through God's help he would prevail against an impossible situation. As missions draws nearer, I feel like my life is being spiritually attacked left and right. I feel like I've been procrastinating on the things that I'm suppose to be doing.  Secondly, I feel like uneasy relationships am in are getting more difficult to deal with. I'm often times find myself losing patience and lacking in grace. Lastly, I need to give up singledom to God. I believe I did the right thing today in surrendering to God, as there are confirmations that God placed in my life to give me peace that it is all according to His will. God wants my full undivided attention. He wants me to let everything go and allow him to defeat the mighty army that I can't defeat on my own. He wants me to prevail and be blessed by the ordeal. I need to learn to let go and let God handle the situation. I need to trust God and go all in, in letting Christ be the Lord over my life.


Jesus thank you for your grace you give even when I fail consistently. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to build character and be more dependent on you. I ask that you would help me overcome procrastination. Work in the relationships in my life, as you change not only the other person, but more importantly myself. And lastly, I ask that you would help me to surrender my singledom to you. Allow me to rely on you for comfort and longing. I also ask that you prepare the right spouse for me, as I know the person you provide will be a suitable helper to build your kingdom. 

In Jesus Name
Amen
