Asa's Waning Fervor

Judah's first good king, who had removed the graven images, high places, and grove declines in his fervor and his faith in God thins over time. By all accounts he is still a good man, but he fails to trust God for everything in his live. He puts more trust in the king of Syria for military victory and in the physicians for his health. This is an important lesson for us to learn. God wants us to trust him at all times -- right down to the very end.
