Isn't is interesting how we can get so caught up is some real fine details about life that won't really matter in 20, 50 or 40 years? For instance that one hair that was out of place or needed plucked that we spend way too much time dealing with! This message in I Kings is a great reminder how God looks down at us and summarizes a life in a sentence or two! Wow! For some of Israel's kings God remarks that they did that which was right, except they removed not the high places. Let's just take the direct reference for a minute. The high places were places of sexual sin. Consider yourself, then others, let's not be the ones who fall for this common problem set before us!

Plus, in this message, King Asa is ready to serve the Lord even if it means removing the Queen of the land...his own Mother. He begins a walk of faith and is later faced with the challenge of an army rising against him. Will he continue in faith or turn his trust over to mere men to help him?
