Continual Burnt Offering: Daily Meditations, March 15 (14:11)
“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: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on Thee, and in Thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, Thou art God; let not man prevail against Thee”―2 Chronicles 14:11.
GOD’S power is omnipotent and He is prepared to back up the man of faith, no matter how difficult the circumstances that he may have to face. We today are not called to battle with flesh and blood, using carnal weapons, but our conflict is with Satanic hosts, who would seek to rob us of the enjoyment of our inheritance in Christ (Eph. 6:12). But, for faith, the devil is already a defeated foe (Heb. 2:14). As we meet the enemy in the power of the cross, victory is sure (Gal. 6:14). He who wrought for Ma will undertake for us as we rely upon His faithfulness and walk in obedience to His Word. Asa’s prayer is soul-stirring and indicates strong faith and high spirituality. He put God between him and the enemy. It was a case of divine power versus human assumption, the might of Jehovah against mere brute strength and artfulness.
