Fully Committed

Fully Committed At one time, King Asa trusted that God would provide for the needs of Judah. But toward the end of Asa’s reign, something happened in the king’s heart— he forgot that God had always been faithful, and he decided to take matters into his own hands. Asa stopped believing God would provide, and he stopped seeking Him. So Asa’s once-devoted heart hardened, and he turned to politics, money, and force to get his way. The result? God decreed, “From now on you will be at war.” God knows we are prone to wander and forget His goodness. He is not looking for perfection; He is looking for hearts that trust Him. He wants us to stop trying to control our circumstances and outcomes. Instead, when we choose to trust God and wait patiently for His provision, He promises to be our strength. He gives us peace and softens our hearts in the midst of life’s hard seasons. It’s a moment-by-moment conscious decision: I will trust You right now. God’s eyes are searching for those who are committed to Him. When His eyes fall on us, may He see a heart of trust.
