2 Chronicles 15 (성경통독): So we learn about king Asa’s reign which was peaceful for many years. He and the people bound themselves in a covenant to seek God, the God of their fathers, wholeheartedly, holding nothing back. They sought God—and he showed up, ready to be found. God gave them peace within and without—a most peaceable kingdom! In his cleanup of the country, Asa went so far as to remove his mother, Queen Maacah, from her throne because she had built a shockingly obscene image of the sex goddess Asherah. Asa tore it down, smashed it, and burned it up in the Kidron Valley. Unfortunately he didn’t get rid of the local sex-and-religion shrines. But he was well-intentioned—his heart was in the right place, loyal to God. His heart for the Lord was there and he was willing to remove any obstacle that would prevent him from getting closer to God.
