1. Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come (1-19)

The army of Assyria rolled through the land, sweeping away everything in its path. Hezekiah strengthened the walls of Jerusalem, cut off the flow of water to the enemy and did what he could to prepare, but he did not depend on human defenses. He told the people to trust in the Lord. (7,8) The king of Assyria sent messengers and letters which told the people, 'Don't believe...' He told them that God could not help them, and that Hezekiah was deceiving them. Words that plant doubt in God and his servant are from Satan's arsenal.

2. Hezekiah prays (20-23)

King Hezekiah and Isaiah the prophet cried out to God in prayer, and the Lord sent an angel who annihilated all the fighting men in the Assyrian camp. God is fully able to hear and answer our prayers when we trust him.

Application: Lord, I believe that you are stronger than all the forces of Satan. Strengthen my heart to trust you and help me to pray and not despair.
One Word: The arm of flesh or the Lord God?
