2 Chronicles 15:7

What Does 2 Chronicles 15:7 Mean?

The prophet Azariah said these words to King Asa after a great victory. The people had been turning away from God, and Asa wanted to lead them back. Azariah encouraged him not to get tired or weak, because God sees every effort made for Him. “Let not your hands be weak” is a colorful way of saying don’t give up or lose heart – keep working with everything you’ve got!
