2 Chronicles 14 ~ Let us build these cities

 


2 Chronicles 14



14 Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David.

And Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land had rest for ten years. 2 And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. 3 He took away the foreign altars and the high places and broke down the pillars and cut down the Asherim 4 and commanded Judah to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, and to keep the law and the commandment.

5 He also took out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the incense altars. And the kingdom had rest under him. 6 He built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest. He had no war in those years, for the Lord gave him peace.

7 And he said to Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the Lord our God. We have sought him, and he has given us peace on every side.” So they built and prospered. 8 And Asa had an army of 300,000 from Judah, armed with large shields and spears, and 280,000 men from Benjamin that carried shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.



9 Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and came as far as Mareshah.

10 And Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up their lines of battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

11 And Asa cried to the Lord his God, “O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God; let not man prevail against you.”

12 So the Lord defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive, for they were broken before the Lord and his army. The men of Judah carried away very much spoil. 14 And they attacked all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the Lord was upon them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them. 15 And they struck down the tents of those who had livestock and carried away sheep in abundance and camels. 

Then they returned to Jerusalem.






Then we returned from Jerusalem. To ask... Did you believe Asa happened?  



So a million warriors in the Bible, huh? Yes. Miraculous God does Amazing Wonders.


God has graciously given us the Archaeological Evidence of Asa and the war. Tel Dan Steele.


When we look at the Story of the Kings of Judah and Israel - we find our own stories. When Israel has peace, Israel believes the Promises of God. Be it 910-869 B.C. or 1967 A.D. Israel.



The Scriptures or Post is picked out before knowing what we have. Again we see Psalm 81:


Psalm 81

1 Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob!

2 Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp. 3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon,
on our feast day.

4 For it is a statute for Israel, a rule of the God of Jacob. 5 He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a language I had not known: 6 "I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket. 7 In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder;

I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

8 Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me!

9 There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. 10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11 "But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.

12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. 13 Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! 14 I would soon subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes. 15 Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward him, and their fate would last forever.

16 But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."



Wonderful to celebrate the Glories of God!

God who saw His Creation as Good 10 times in Genesis 1 and 2. God, our Almighty God speaks of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

God who raised David out of so many terrible times. David's  22 years of endurance to believe with awe and wonder of the Love, Mercy and Tender Compassion of God.

Abijah's success against every effort by Israeli Jeroboam to defeat him. 


2 Chronicles 13:18
Judah prevailed because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers

1 Chronicles 17:14
I will confirm in My House and in My Kingdom forever,
and his throne shall be established forever

Leviticus 2:13
Season your offerings with salt
meaning permanence

Isaiah worked so diligently and in his 3rd King, found Hezekiah to be like Asa - rejecting even Asa's own father's idea to reject the Temple of God (to break down the gold and be a puppet state of Assyria) - Hezekiah Gloried in the Temple of God. Hezekiah Gloried in the Word of God. And in this faith - built up - what we can even see in Israel today of the Glories of this faith. Hezekiah probably came close to surpassing the amazing reign of Solomon.

We see the Old Testament with so many battles blending, together, and we forget to see - The Glory. The Victory of Faith. The call to be community believing the Word of God. Jesus Manifest.

The Glory of Josiah and the wonder of attaining a Book of the Old Testament.

The wonder of David to be considered by the Almighty God.

The Glories of Faith are in Chapters and Chapters of the Bible - never to forget - Faith is Life. Way, Truth and Life.



Good News.
 The Real Glories of God are Incredible
 and God is for you.

Father God, our Abba,

We pray for health and say thank You.
And travel blessings anticipated by my family.




Thanksgiving for all the mighty works of the Scriptures, with all the threads God pulls together in answered prayer. All these threads becoming the Hem of His Robe - filling our heart, mind and soul with His Glory - in our wonder.

May The Blessing of Our Father God, Himself, 
Alpha and Omega, 
Ancient of Days, 
Merciful and Mighty God of All 
be your blessing and for those you love. 

For His Mighty Love to warm this Nation each day.

1 John 4:7
Dear Friends, let us love one another,
for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves
has been born of God
and knows God.



For all the Nations who Trust in Him to have His own Peace. 
And the Comfort of our Helper to be in the hearts 
and prayers of those asking in God's favor for more Heaven on earth.

Our Guest, staying with us, went home to San Antonio
to visit their parents. 
And was gone for 4 days. 
Returning to walk in the door, leave and test positive for Covid. 
We have an amazing set of Lysol cans and hand sanitizers.
Edward and I believe, being vaccinated within months, and God's MERCY,
we will remain in good health.

Please pray for our family to heal 
and not have illness.

Abba, Father God,

May God Bless us by dwelling in us.
Bless us by dwelling in those we Love.
Help us to Seek You First
In Jesus Christ, we will finish well.

Bless us surrounding, upholding, comforting us
and Blessing us in the Highest Name of Jesus Christ.

May we be so blessed as to seek God first.
Blessed be the Highest Name of Jesus
for Fulfilling His Word to us.

Surround us with Your Love
and Your Mercy, we ask in Jesus.

Thank You, Father. Abba.

We ask to be rid of all Covid, pandemics and anger.

Mark 16:1-8 
~ they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled 


Jesus bless us ALL to Overcome


Blessed Be our Jesus Christ - Savior. Amen!!!

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
