#soap # 2 Chronicles 14 ## Title: Know Who the Hero Is ## Scripture: (2 Chronicles 14:11) Asa prayed to the Lord his God: “O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. O Lord, you are our God; don’t let men prevail against you!” (NET) ## Observation: Our generation has done a lot of work to prop people up emotionally. It’s easy to find a place online where someone is talking about how awesome you are. This is part of the reason why most folks cannot take criticism. They are not used to having to face the fact there are some things they cannot do. I love how Asa, the king, says that only God can help them. He also calls himself powerless. That had to be hard for a king to say but he’s admitting that only God is big enough for God-sized problems. It’s okay to embrace limitations. It is not saying you are less than anyone else. It is simply saying you may not know everything, be everything, do everything, etc. There’s nothing wrong with having limitations. Limitations clarify your calling and show you where your strength ends and God’s begins. ## Application: Embrace limitations to clarify your prayers. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, that even when we are weak, You are always strong.
