We see here a contrast between several kings in Judah and Israel. Consider:
- Heart – Abijam’s heart was not wholly true to the Lord (15:3), but Asa’s heart was (15:14). How would you describe your heart? What other things compete for your heart? What would it look like to have a heart wholly true to God?
- Right and Wrong – Asa did what was right in God’s sight (15:11), but Israel’s kings did what was evil in God’s sight (15:26, 34; 16:25, 30). Where do you see this contrast in our world today? In your own life?
