Daily Devotions: Responding With Treasure and Not With Faith – July 23, 2026

2 Chronicles 16:9 (NLT) – “The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.”   In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall examines the danger of relying on wealth rather than faith during times of crisis. He uses the example of King Asa, a good king who made the mistake of "throwing money" at a problem by stripping the temple treasuries to buy help, rather than getting on his knees to seek the Lord as he had done in the past.   Pastor Sumrall explains that God is actively searching for those with fully committed hearts so that He can provide them with divine strength. He encourages believers, especially those who have seen God's prosperity, to avoid the trap of trusting in what money can buy and instead return to the position of total reliance on God’s help and provision. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
