NATIONAL REFORM OF OLD II Chronicles 15:1 -15?January 15 "Bt etrong. therefore, and let not your hand* be weak; for your work nhall be rewarded." C.HI8 Study nhowi us a young king whou environments In youth had been unfavorable. In that hla fa? ther was far from being a good man. and hla early years were under the Influence of a grandmother who was an Idol wor? shipper. In the mldat of this unfavorable setting Asa quickly developed a loyalty to Qod and soundness of judgment benefi? cial to his kingdom. We have all had experience with char? acters of this kind. We have occasionally seen children of evil parentage who seem? ed to see the evil of the parental course, and to be nauseated therewith, and by thls led Into right paths. It has at times appeared as though Divine Providence occasionally Interposed In prenatal influ? ences which made the child very different In bent of mind from either of Its 7wj parents. ?"' Asa did much to abolish Idolatry In his kingdom, and to sway the minds of the people to reverence an'1 obe? dience of Almighty Ood. In conse? quence, be had peace for ten years, during which time he encouraged hla people and spurred himself on to ac? tivity In the train? ing of an army, and In the com? pleting of forUfled dtlee on the ex? tremity of ale kingdom, for pro? tection agalnat at? tacks of enemies. Following the ten years of pesos cam* Zsrah. an Ethiopian prince, and an army of a million and three hun? dred chariots of war. to attack the king? dom of Judah After the custom of ths times they foraged on the country through which they passed, appropriating, devas? tating, etc Renewed Consecration to Qod This was the very occasion for which Asa bad made preparation during his ten years of peace. He went forth with his army to beat the invader. Nevertheless, his faith looked up to Ood for the vic? tory, realising that with him was the power to give or to withhold victory. In the battle which followed. Asa and his army were successful. Returning from the victory with hearts grateful to God they were met on the way by a Prophet?Axarlah?who In the name of the Lord counselled the king and his peo? ple that they had all done well and faith? fully, and that, therefore, Ood's blessing was with them, and that the continuance of Divine blessing would depend upon their faithfulness to Ood and to the re? quirement* of his Law. Ths Divine warning helped the King und his people to appreciate the situation and to tu*?-- a flrr.tr stan<l than ev*r tor righteouan?*?v a second un?\ more Ihn r ough reformation wan th:n Inaugurated ?no fdoia?ry wan tbeie.sOeseJs persatttsd in the- Kingdom under tenuity of death, and the I/ord'i blessing continued with (he kingdom?juunii. The Qod of Battle Benevolent people. Interested In peace congresses, etc.. sometimes Inquire bow we shouM understand the fact that the Ood of the Old Testament 8crlptures was a Ood of Battle?sometimes commanding war and the utter destruction of many. The answer to this question can be ap? preciated only when the situation la view? ed from the proper standpoint, thus:? The whole world was lost in sin and was under condemnation to death as un? worthy of life, unworthy of Divine favor. Whether, therefore, God permitted them to die by famine, pestilence, or by what we tomeUmes designate natural death, mattered not?the death sentence must sooner or later be executed against them at any rate?all must go down to the tomb. We thank Ood. however, that his gra? cious plan has provided a redemption of Adam and all of his race from the tomb and from death, and a full opportunity eventually, by resurrection, to come to a true knowledge of Ood and righteousness, and. If obedient thereto, to return ulti? mately to Divine favor and to more than was lost In Kden?all of this recovery ac? complished through Calvary. The nation of Israel was no exception to this reign of sin and death, but God chose them as a nation to make of them types, shadows, illustrative of his gra? cious purposes A n of God's dealings with that nation typed greater blessings for the future. We are not to understand that ei? ther then, or since, any other nation has occupied this same relationship toward God, nor that ho similarly regards and pun? ishes fuithfulness or unfaithfulness with particularity in each nation. Spiritual Israel. St. Peter tells us, Is a "Royal Priest? hood, an holy na? tion, a people for a purpose, that they should show forth the praises of him who has called them out of darkness into his marvelous light." This Spirit-ft* Kot? ten Israel Is not an earthly nation, has no earthly wars with carnal weapons. This Holy Na? tion has no prom iseof earthly peace und prosperity, as rewards of obedi? ence to God, bu . contrariwise, Is assured that in the WorM she shall have tribula? tion, hatrod, opposition, suffering and that her reward will be spiritual. Lesions We May Learn Ifeartj every page In history may teach lessons to those who are desirous of learn? ing them The experiences of Kln? Asa may. for inst u a, give us a lesson that In the years of our youth we should prop ?rl> put away all Idolatry of money, of fan.e, of honor of ue ti, und should seek to know and to do thu will of the Lord from the seal t in the early years of life wo should erect the f? rtroassi of character which j win serve us us u defence against at? tacks of the world, the flesh and the Devli In our later years, end when the battle ootnee, thus prepared, we are ptili to look te the i.ord for victory, realising the fores of the Apostle'i words.
