Today's Passage: 1 Kings 15-16
I love the way God raised Asa up to be King of Judah. I am currently reading the book Visionary Parenting by Dr. Rob Rienow. In it he talks a lot about building a spiritual legacy for your own family and this passage reminds me of how important that is.
Track with me, Asa had a father and grandfather that lived their lives in clear disobedience to God. Yet God blesses Asa's father with a son that was completely committed to bringing glory to God. The part that I thought was so cool about this passage is the reason why God chose to place Asa in that position... Because of his forefather David's actions! God said he placed Asa there to succeed David because of David's obedience to God.
This passage reiterates how if we are willing to be faithful in living a godly life and raising godly children that God will have our families back for generations to come. Even if ,heaven forbid, a generation or two fall away from Him.
Let us love God while learning to know Him better, and make Him know by sharing that love and knowledge. That is our One Purpose.
