| "He built cities and ... walls" |
Asa was a good King and through most of his reign, God gave him peace. Yet I notice that in this time of peace Asa still prepared. In 2 Chronicles 14:6-7, we see Asa encouraged the people of God to prepare why they enjoyed peace. This reminds me of what Jesus said about working while it is day because the time would come when no one could work. The time to prepare isn’t during war or catastrophe. The time to prepare is when there is peace.
If we wait until thing go wrong to get close to God, then like those who don’t prepare defenses when the war comes they will be overrun. Yes. God is gracious, but this is usually seen in the times of peace that come your way.
