11/28/11 At the beginning of his reign, King Asa of Judah did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord. When he needed help, he cried out to God. When he faced the multitude he cried out to God. Between now and January 1, I, as many of you, am facing a variety of multitudes. Multitudes that can conquer me if I battle them in my own strength. A multitude of decisions. A multitude of car miles. A multitude of logistical maneuvers. A multitude of packing. How about you? What multitudes are you facing.
Like Asa, believers should cry out to Elhoim. “The Almighty” in the sense of “God” (The New Strong’s Complete Dictionary of Bible Words #410) The Name of strength. Our Lord is a strong tower. (Proverbs 18:10)
And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. (2 Chronicles 14:11)This week identify the "multitude" you are facing in your life. Cry out to God for help.
