1. On whom are you depending? (1-10)

Hezekiah was king of Judah. The dark cloud of the Assyrian threat suddenly broke loose in a storm as Sennacherib placed the city under siege. The Assyrian commander demanded that Hezekiah surrender or face terrible consequences. He blasphemed God and planted fear in the hearts of the people. He touched all the weaknesses of the nation, and much of what he said was true. Egypt was indeed a broken reed; and even if Judah had 2,000 horses there were no soldiers to ride them. Hezekiah had indeed removed the idols. Satan's most dangerous lies are those which contain half-truths.

2. The people remained silent (11-22)

When Hezekiah's men asked the Assyrian commander not to speak in Hebrew, he spoke even more loudly, promising peace and prosperity, and warning the people not to trust Hezekiah or God. The people obeyed the king and remained silent. They waited on God.

Application: Lord, teach me to remain silent and wait on you when Satan attacks.
One Word: God is able to save his people
