Thankful God fights for us!
Scripture reading for May 3rd: 2nd Chronicles 31-34
Key Scriptures: 2nd Chronicles 32:7-8 “”Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him. With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.”
King Hezekiah was faithful to the Lord but Israel still came under attack by Sennacherib, king of Assyria. The king of Israel built up fortifications, made more weapons, and appointed military officers to positions. But it was not these preparations that would bring victory! King Hezekiah knew that the Lord was with them–the greatest power on earth! This gave him and the people confidence!
Thankful for God’s presence and power: “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.” (2nd Corinthians 10:3-4)
