In 2 Chronicles 16 Asa changes from relying on God to relying on another earthly king to keep him safe. When one is desperate, sometimes it is easier to rely on God than when things are going well. When you've got a friend who has a great earthly army. When you are sitting pretty. Maybe you can rely on earthly things.
But then Asa gets a disease in his feet and
Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the LORD, but only from the physicians.(2 Chron 16:11)
I can see God waiting, hoping that Asa will call on Him.
Oh God, help us rely on you in good times and in bad.
