2 Chronicles 14:6  NASB He built fortified cities in Judah, since the land was undisturbed, and there was no one at war with him during those years, because the LORD had given him rest.

King Asa knew that a time of peace is the best time to prepare for war. It wasn’t a lack of faith in God that prompted him to build walls while they were at peace; it was an understanding that the Lord’s enemies are many, so the enemies of God’s people are also many.

When things are going well in our lives, we have a tendency to neglect our spiritual life. But that is precisely when we should be “building up our defenses” by spending time in God’s Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers. We know trials will come our way, let’s be ready!

Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Ephesians 6:13

-Kevi
