I like the fact that Asa did that which is good and right in the eyes of the
Lord in spite of his people the people who came before him in spite of what
stigma his family may have had he stepped out and said well I'm gonna be
different okay you know maybe you know my dad was a deadbeat maybe he didn't
have a job but I'm gonna be a hard worker you know maybe my family was
unfaithful but I'm gonna be a loyal faithful person maybe my family you
know there were just lukewarm Christians well I'm gonna be on fire for the Lord
okay because you have that choice you know the the failures of your family or
of your past doesn't have to be imposed upon your character today okay he says
in verse number three he did that which is good and right in the eyes of the
Lord now this means that he prepared his heart to seek the Lord right so when God
looked at him it wasn't like oh yeah he just has a good heart he didn't look at
him and just say well it looks like he just has a he just loves me right it was
based upon an action why because we look what it says in verse 3 for he took away
the altars of the strange gods and the high places and break down the images
and cut down the groves so why did God say hey he's doing that which is right
and good in my sight because he was just destroying idols he's like I love God so
much I just hate every other false God and I'm gonna show you how much I hate
these false gods I'm just gonna break every single one that I come across
break all the altars and the high places and the images I'm gonna cut down the
groves look at verse 4 and commanded you to seek the Lord God of their fathers
hey you should be reading the Bible too as we telling you say hey everyone obey
God's commandments in my kingdom all right have you read have you read
Deuteronomy yet make sure you read that okay everyone obey the commandments of
God I mean this is zeal okay he says commanded you to seek the Lord God of
their fathers and to do the law and the commandment this is an awesome King right
here this King I wish we had a king I wish we had a president like this who
can articulate ideas and and and beads you know just strong leader here you
know imposing the right type of laws amen
