defeated by...

So I think the coolest thing about certain parts of the Bible is the wording. Instead of just saying the enemies were defeated, it goes to all the trouble to say by whom and for whom. God defeated (insert evil people) before (insert good guy). Therefore there can be no question who is the agent. Pretty awesome stuff.

What's not so awesome are the sad choices made in the life of Asa, king of Judah. He lived his life for God, but then he decided he had a better plan the God. So what happened? God rebuked he and he did not like his consequneces. He spent the rest of his life with his back turned to God. How sad is that?

Lord, I pray I would never harden my heart to You. The world will pull me to make my own decisions, but I will rest confident in Your will. Let it be my constant companion and meditation. Amen. Amen. Amen.
