Mere Mortals


Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, “LORD, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this vast army. LORD, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail against you.

2 Chronicles 14:11

King Asa of Judah calls out to God when he and his fighting men are faced by an enormous army of Cushites.

Sometimes in life, when we feel powerless against the mighty, we are rescued. Sometimes we are not. But, there is no one like God. Sometimes we think that mere mortals are all that there is, and we forget about God. Sometimes we think that mere mortals are more than they are, and we don’t properly assess the situation; we don’t calculate God in the equation. We don’t seek Him, we don’t look to Him, we just see things as mere mortals do, living out our earthly life.
