2 Chronicles 14-16: Being a Light

Get Rid of the Dark (14:2-5, 15)

The fears and potential costs often stop people from giving up sin.

Asa chose to listen to God (15:1-2, 7).

Asa was motivated by courage rather than fear (15:8).

Turning away from the darkness is always right and always worth it.

Rely on the Lord (14:8-15)

Asa was confronted with a problem he couldn’t fix on his own (14:9).

Asa knew where his hope was (14:11)

God did exactly what He promised (14:12-13).

We don’t always have to know how but can trust that God will.

Staying True (16)

Asa faced a threat from Israel but handled it differently (16:1-3).

This showed he failed to rely on the Lord (16:7).

We must not forget what God has done in the past (16:8).

God is always there to give us strength in any situation (16:9).
