2 Chronicles 14:5 He built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had peace and no war was waged against him during these years, because the LORD had given him rest.
Asa was the next king for Judah, and he was a godly man. He removed all the things that had been built for worshipping fake gods. He told the people to follow God’s laws and commandments. And the Lord gave the people rest. They were able to build up the city and strengthen their army during that time. So when a larger enemy did come to rise against them, Asa prayed to God, telling him they relied on Him and asked for God to not let the enemy prevail.
We too need to trust in God so that we can find rest. With the enemy constantly around lately, it seems hard to find rest, but we know God is getting us ready to face them. We must remain faithful in our thoughts, actions, and deeds. We must remain true in God’s words. The devil is in fact all around us, trying in every which way to shake us down from our faith. He is infiltrating our schools, our libraries, our theaters, our homes. We must be observant and stop him from trying to sneak into the hearts of the innocent.
