I kings 15, II Chronicles 13-16


by Paul Ice

“And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father had done.”

How do we evaluate our leaders?  How do you evaluate yourself?
What is our criteria for "success"?

In the Kings and Chronicles leaders are evaluated through a very distinctive lens…through “the eyes of the Lord.”

These passages give us a particular way of seeing history: through the “the eyes of the Lord.” It is like set of prescription lenses for seeing all of life more clearly. The bible provides an alternative criteria for defining "success."

What a great thing it would to have as a part of “our history story,” – he did right in the eyes of the Lord all the days of his life.

I pray that the Holy Spirit would help us see our life through “the eyes of the Lord.”
