2 Chronicles 16
Daily Devotional from 2 Chronicles 16--
Verse 12
“In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe. Yet even in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but sought help from physicians.”
King Asa of Judah had a difficult time trusting the Lord.
Late in his reign, he developed a foot disease and did not seek the Lord’s help, but instead sought help from physicians.
Earlier in his reign, he bribed the Syrian king to help him defeat the king of Israel, instead of depending on the Lord for help.
There is nothing wrong with seeking the help of physicians when we are sick. In fact, it’s the wise thing to do. But as believers we should first go to God to ask for His divine intervention. He is the great Healer. His cures are cheaper and have no negative side effects!
There is nothing wrong in seeking allies in battle, but as believers we should not forget about our greatest ally, and depend on Him first and foremost in times of struggle.
