1Ki 15:11-12, ASA DID WHAT WAS RIGHT IN THE EYES OF THE LORD, AS DID HIS FATHER DAVID. AND HE BANISHED THE PERVERTED PERSONS FROM THE LAND, and REMOVED ALL THE IDOLS that his fathers had made.
Mat 1:7, Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot Abijah, and ABIJAH BEGOT ASA.
1Ki 15:13-14, Also he removed MAACHAH HIS GRANDMOTHER FROM BEING QUEEN MOTHER, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and burned it by the Brook Kidron. ….ASA’S HEART WAS LOYAL TO THE LORD ALL HIS DAYS
His heart was loyal to the LORD But, when Baasha king of Israel came up against him; Asa did not go to the LORD for help he went to the king of Syria!
2Ch 16:7, And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: “BECAUSE YOU HAVE RELIED ON THE KING OF SYRIA, AND HAVE NOT RELIED ON THE LORD YOUR GOD, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
THE LORD MAKES A PERSON STRONG IF THEY ARE LOYAL TO THE LORD!
2Ch 16:9, For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.”
IN TIMES OF TROUBLE AND IN TIMES OF PROSPERITY ALWAYS SEEK THE LORD AND RELY ON HIS STRENGTH!
