Today’s Outline For Scripture Union Daily Guide 28 October 2022
Take note that it was immediately after the victory over the Ethiopian army that Azariah, led by the Spirit of God, warned Asa and the people of Judah against forsaking the Lord (vs.1‐2). What do you think about the reason and timing of this warning? The temptation to become slack and complacent about our relationship with God when things are going smoothly is real, but we must guard against such because the consequences can be grievous (see vs.3‐6).
Read v.7 again. God recognised Judah’s work and encouraged them to keep it up. What reason did God give for the encouragement? How did Asa respond to God’s encouragement (vs.8‐18)? God’s word of encouragement boosted Asa’s morale and performances. He and his people did not only carry out physical reforms but also renewed their relationship with God, and as a result, he enjoyed many more years of peaceful reign (vs.15c,19).
The Bible also contains lots of encouragements with promises of rewards for our labour both in this life and hereafter. These should motivate us to continue to serve God with all our hearts (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Practice/Word Application
And so? Do you feel no one recognises or appreciates what you are doing? How does v.7 speak to you today?
