Like King Asa, we can begin with a humble heart and even see God move in great power in our lives, but we can allow ourselves to become so hardened by pride that we stubbornly refuse to seek God, and ultimately die in bitterness.

The question that Elijah raised (at Mt. Carmel) is still quite valid “How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.”
