For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed, from now on you will surely have wars."For as much as twenty-five years, Asa did it all right. He followed God, and God allowed him to prosper But somewhere along the line, Asa got complacent. He stopped remembering how God had enriched him. When a crisis occurred, he turned to another king for help, instead of seeking God again. This was the end of peace in his time.
I wonder, where did he make that turn from God to men? I doubt it was when Israel prepared to attack. Rather, I think it was probably some time before. Asa had turned from God, and therefore God used Israel to try and remind him of who was in control. However, Asa did not make the right choice, and therefore had to pay the price for his pride.
