Once an Ethiopian named Zerah attacked Judah with an army of 1,000,000 men and 300 chariots. They advanced to the town of Mareshah, so Asa deployed his armies for battle in the valley north of Mareshah. Then Asa cried out to the LORD his God, “O LORD, no one but you can help the powerless against the mighty! Help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in you alone. It is in your name that we have come against this vast horde. O LORD, you are our God; do not let mere men prevail against you!” So the LORD defeated the Ethiopians in the presence of Asa and the army of Judah, and the enemy fled. [2 Chronicles 14.9-12]
When faced with insurmountable odds, Asa simply cried out to God and God delivered Judah and gave them victory instead.
This is the kind of thing God does when man acknowledges Him alone as Deliverer.
What a lesson for the USA right now.
Father, help us in the USA to trust in You alone.
