“Because you relied on the king of Aram and not on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand. 8 Were not the Cushites[b] and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers of chariots and horsemen[c]? Yet when you relied on the Lord, he delivered them into your hand. 9 For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war.”
This passage makes me think 2 things.
1. If we keep our eyes and hearts focused on God and his direction, everything goes much better. He sees your intent and blesses you.
2. It seems like it was simpler back then. Doesn't it? It seems like it was more cause and effect. Now it seems to be gray. Maybe I'm just making excuses. If I have God truly in my heart, and I ask him to do something.....will he really do it? Maybe the key is truly have him in your heart.

ReplyDeleteYou and Jack Handy have a lot of deep thoughts. ;) He strenghten's those whose hearts are committed to him, and therefore the opposite is true as well.
