Bible Text: 2 Chronicles 14:11-15 Title: The Victory of King Asa!
1) Asa praying
Serah the Cushite invaded Judah with a million men and 300 chariots.
King Asa of Judah prayed to God.
He pleaded with God, 'Between the strong and the weak, there is no one to help but the Lord.' He described himself as a weakling, a sign of his humility.
It is also proof that he knew exactly himself, who was weak and sinful before God.
And Asa prayed, 'Let no man overcome you.'
Here, man has the meaning of being a fragile being, an existence that has no choice but to die. Therefore, Asa, even though Zerah's army was over a million,
I knew they were insignificant.
Asa had already had the confidence to win.

b. Relying on the Lord is the key to victory (2 Chronicles 15:18)

Cush's invasion brought not only victory to Judah, but also many spoils.

On the contrary, it may even be beneficial.

When Asa, king of Judah, lived a life worthy of God, God gave Judah peace.
The peace that men give is temporary and untrue, but the peace that God gives is true joy and
It gives us satisfaction. Therefore, by following the footsteps of Asa's life,
We must live a life worthy of the Lord's sight so that we can enjoy the true peace that the Lord gives us.
