S-cripture: 2 Chronicles 16:9a For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the whole earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. lol O-bservation: This is the story of the sad ending of Asa, king of Judah. He did lead Judah for 41 years, and God was with him, but he settled for what he thought would be easier than trusting God toward the end. Baasha, the king of Israel, laid a siege on Judah to prepare to destroy them. Asa had always turned to the Lord before, but this time he...

O-bservation: This passage says that Asa did what was RIGHT in the sight of the Lord, as did his father David. This is an Old Testament way of skipping generations in order to remind us all of the covenant God had made with David. Here’s the rest of the story though. Asa was the great-great-grandson Of King David. His great-grandfather Solomon had completely gone the way of the flesh in his latter days, and Rehoboam, Solomon’s...
