I’ve committed to finishing my second cover to cover read of The Bible. My daily reading consists of Psalms and Proverbs along with the random plan. This morning after my routine reading I wanted to put the Good Book down but something tugged at me. Persevering, I was treated to the story of King Asa.
Now King Asa did all that was right in the eyes of the Lord, a relief in and of itself, and lived in peace. You know this part of the story is filled with good Kings and bad Kings so with King Asa turning his heart to God everything seems cool. But there is a reason we are given Asa’s story.
It turns out that towards the end of his reign the King turned away from God when God had always delivered the goods. I did a double-take. and reread the scripture.
I got the message right away. I won’t spoil it for you, but I got it. In that extra effort with the Word today God spoke to me. Thank you Lord for not letting me give up this morning.
Read your Bible.
