II Chronicles 15-16

"For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His" (v9). For the Israelites, relying totally on God meant not running to pagan nations for alliances. King Asa of Judah had experienced God's tremendous power (v8), yet his fear of King Baasha (leader of Israel's northern kingdom) caused him to turn to Aram for help (v3). In effect, Asa was declaring that God was not powerful enough to deliver him.

When our hearts are "completely His," we know God is the source of all comfort, all strength, and all deliverance.
