2 Chronicles 31 -- Calling Out To God And Trusting Him

Much of what’s in this chapter is fleshed out in 2 Kings 18.  Hezekiah had compromised in several areas that weren’t mentioned here, causing many of his own problems. 

The part that really attracted my attention today occurred while the Assyrian king Sennacherib was attacking Jerusalem and verbally attacking Hezekiah and God.  Hezekiah encouraged his people why facing overwhelming odds, by saying, “There is a greater power with us than with him.  He only has men, but we have the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.”

That’s the way I feel right now, too, Father.  In the midst of sickness at home and the trials of everyday work, I know that my God reigns, and that You are greater than anything or anyone.  You are more than able to see us through, and You are more than enough for me.

Your Brother In Christ,
