Hanan the seer’s charge against King Asa of Judah (6:7) is intriguing. Asa regarded the king of Aram as an ally, giving him the treasures of the Temple and palace so he would attack Baasha, king of Israel. However, the prophet Hanani saw in Aram a human foe who would be a nemesis to the kingdom of Judah. Previous battles demonstrate that God was the only ally Asa actually had. Asa’s reliance on the king of Aram revealed a much deeper spiritual problem. Asa forgot that “the eyes of the lORD search the whole earth” (16:9; see also. Zech 4:10). So. when Hanani confronted Asa with the error of his ways, Asa summarily threw the prophet into confinement and the angry king arbitrarily inflicted cruelties on the people.
Asa provides sad example of the human propensity to rely on their own tangible resources (see Proverbs 11:7; Isa 31:1; Jer 17:5-6) and to become angry when corrected. Even those who experience the power of the Lord in a very tangible fashion often have this leaning (2 Chronicles 16:8). It is much better to rely on the Lord and welcome his direction (cp. Ps 33:18; 37:7; Isa 50:10; Jer 17:7-8;Acts 13:43). life is a long lesson in trusting God; we might begin by doing what is good and right (2 Chronicles 14: 1), but our legacy is not settled until the last deed is done (see also Rom 2:6-11; 1 Corinthians 4:1-5). Faithfulness to the kingdom of God must not be compromised by personal ambitions.
