2 Chronicles 16
36th year, Asa’s reign
King Baasha, of Israel
Invades Judah, Asa turns
From God, to flesh
with silver, and gold
Temple gifts, purchase safety
Seer Hanani, confronts Asa
Wrong reliance, equals foolishness
“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the entire earth, to strengthen those whose heart is true to Him.”
Zondervan, NRSV 2010
Asa continues, in foolishness
His rage, brings condemnation
39 years, Asa reigned
Diseased feet, and still
Asa wrongfully, looks manward
Folly-chains, eyes down
If only… eyes up.
