Have you ever been faced with a predicament you can’t contend against? King Asa of Judah faced a massive military predicament that was seemingly impossible to contend against on his own
Time came when a certain man from Ethiopia called Zerah invaded Judah When Zerah the Ethiopian invaded Judah, King Asa cried out to God in honest prayer and complete sincerity, leading to a divine victory.2 Chronicles 14:9-11[9]There came out against Judah Zerah the Ethiopian with a host of a million [that is, too many to be numbered] and 300 chariots, and came as far as Mareshah.[10]Then Asa went out against him, and they set up their lines of battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.[11]Asa cried to the Lord his God, O Lord, there is none besides You to help, and it makes no difference to You whether the one You help is mighty or powerless. Help us, O Lord our God! For we rely on You, and we go against this multitude in Your name. O Lord, You are our God; let no man prevail against You!
But when Asa cried out to the LORD God defeated the Army before Him and before all the people of Judah 2 Chronicles 14:12 [12]So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled and so we realise in this that the ultimate victory of Judah was achieved not through military might, but because God intervened directly in response to Asa’s faithful plea.
