There Is No One Like You To Help

2Ch 14:11  And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

Remind God of His exclusive responsibility:There is no one
like you to help. ”The odds against Asa’s men were enormous Zerah the Cushite marched out against them with a vast army
and three hundred chariots (v. 9).


It seemed impossible for Asa to hold his own against that vast multitude.There were no allies who would come to his defense.Therefore his only hope was in God.
 

It may be that your difficulties have come to such an alarming
level that you may be compelled to refuse all human help. In lesser trials, you may have had that recourse, but now you must cast yourself on your Almighty Friend. Put God between yourself and the enemy.
 

Asa, realizing his lack of strength, saw Jehovah as standing between the might of Zerah and himself. And he was not mistaken.
 

We are told that the Cushites “were crushed before the Lord and his forces” (v. 13), as though heavenly warriors threw themselves against the enemy on Israel’s behalf. 

God’s forces so overwhelmed the vast army of the enemy that they fled.Then all Israel had to do was follow up and gather the
plunder.


Our God is “the LORD of hosts” (Isa. 10:16 KJV), who can summon unexpected reinforcements at any moment to help His people. Believe that He is between you and your difficulty, and what troubles you will flee before Him, as clouds in the wind.

~F. B. Meyer~
 

When nothing on which to lean remains, When strongholds crumble to dust; When nothing is sure but that God still reigns,
That is just the time to trust.


It’s better to walk by faith than sight, In this path of yours and mine; And the darkest night, when there’s no outer light Is the time for faith to shine.

Abraham believed God (Rom. 4:3), and said to his eyes, “Stand back!” and to the laws of nature,“Hold your peace!”and to an unbelieving heart,“Silence, you lying tempter!”

He simply “Believed God.”
