Lessons on Asa (3)—Three Important Truths

Three important truths are presented to us in this verse. First, the Lord is with you while you are with Him. We often say to others, "May the Lord be with you," or ask the Lord to be with us in this or that circumstance. This is a nice thing to do and a good thing to ask, but we must be careful not to be misled into thinking that He is with us wherever we go. The condition of His presence is for us to be where He is. This is what Asa learned and experienced with great joy, and this is still true today. The Lord Jesus said, . May these truths warm and encourage our hearts!
