"Fully Rely On God" from 2 Chronicles 16

Be the FROG - fully rely on God.

Southern and Eastern part of Israel at this point are on war. Asa is on the Southern part.

Asa at this point don't rely on God for his sickness. He seek the help of the physicians rather than God. Trusting in the arm of the flesh than on the Lord.

For instance, we trust more in our money and food rather than to God.

Be consistent in our dependency on God.


Charisma - God's grace working on us.
Charismania - man's effort imitating God's grace.

Asa also made a mistake in asking help in non believers. He suffered from a serious foot disease but he never ask the help of God. The Bible criticizes his consultations with physicians because in those days "physicians" were pagans healers who used rituals that conflicted with God's law.

God will strengthen us if we fully rely on the Lord. Don't worry about tomorrow.

Psalm 37:40 The LORD helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.

James 1:19-20
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Remember as you look at the FROG - be the FROG kind of person.
