continued from last . . .
Don't quite understand what Asa did wrong in his treaty with king of Aram (v2-3) know we must rely on God, not man, but don't get what's wrorng with making treaty.
But I do understand that well..it looks real strange, Asa taking silver and gold out of the treasuries of the Lord's temple and of his own palace to send to the King of Aram. He's not only putting his own resources, but seemingly taking back what he previously already gave to God and giving it to Aram. Previously he trusted God and honoured Him with his riches(silver and gold). Now he's taking it back to give another! No wonder God was angry with him.
So we definitely mustn'y take back what we've given to the Lord and give it to other people. Mustn't rely on others instead of Him. He is a very jealous God.
