Fully Committed
2 Chronicles 16:9
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war."
Talk about the flesh. That was a very appropriate analysis. In the flesh, Asa took all his silver and gold and gave it to the king of Aram as a bribe to take on Israel for him. It seemed to work, in the short run. The sad thing is, when you act in the flesh, you never get to see the blessings God had ready for you.
I have to remember that God is always looking for those with fully committed hearts. Asa was one, so he was in line for God's strength, until he decided to rely on a pathetic little hoard of silver and gold instead.
My job is to fully commit my heart. God is just looking for the opportunity to do the rest.
