Reflections on II Chronicles 13-16

Two good kings, Abijah and Asa, reign in Judah.

  • Rely on God – Abijah’s army won the battle because they relied on God (13:18). When another army came against Asa, he relied on the Lord and was victorious (14:11-12).  Yet in Asa’s later years, he failed to rely on God (16:7-8).  Who are you relying on?  Who do you look to?
  • Revival – Asa rid Judah of idols. He repaired the altar of the Lord and the people made sacrifices to the Lord.  They made a covenant to seek God with all their hearts.  Are you seeking God this way?  What sacrifices do you make for God?  What idols do you need to get rid of?
