This Scripture about king Asa was true and yet untrue. Yes, in the beginning of his rule of Judah, he did remove the pagan high places (II Chronicles 14:3) but he did not continue his initial efforts throughout his life. And in his old age, Asa showed a real lack of trust in the Lord and was not completely obedient in the outward, visible areas of his life. His obedience was dependent on what he thought was the most important to him not God. The fact was, everything matters to God…and there is no such thing as trivial when it comes to obeying God…either you do in all areas of your life, or you don’t – and neither do you get to pick and choose the things you’ll trust God in & the things you’ll hang on to. Trusting God in all avenues of our life takes compliant submission and open hands.
