Prayer: Father, teach me today. Your servant is ready of heart and mind, to listen to Your Holy Word. Amen.
Reading: 2 Chronicles 32 key vs. 20-22 “Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz prayed about this and cried out to heaven. Then Adonai sent an angel who annihilated every mighty warrior, commander and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he withdrew in disgrace to his own land. When he entered the house of his god some of his own children struck him down with the sword. Thus Adonai delivered Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all, and helped them in every way.” TLV
Attention: King Sennacherib could have been the king of smack talk on any Pro-Football team. Please read this chapter, as his schemes remind me of the enemy of our souls. He was telling the people of Judah how he and his troops were going to prevail over them. That no god could protect them from his vengeance. No other nation had survived he and his father’s siege. His boastfulness even reminds me of the dread champion Goliath, that David humbled in the power of Adonai.
So, the prophet Isaiah and king Hezekiah together pray to Adonai, and God answers by sending “one” angel to subdue the armies of Assyria. One angel was able to subdue the entire army of Assyria and send the ones he did not kill, running home.
Do you see the power of the God of Judah? The nation of Judah did not even have to fight. God did all the fighting for them. When the enemy of God comes against us and begins whispering in your ear all that God cannot do, turn it over to God and watch Him fight for you.
Action: I choose to call out to Adonai in those moments when the enemy is taunting me.
Yield: I choose to submit to the supremacy of Adonai.
Engage: I choose to engage in the power of the Holy Spirit and call on Adonai.
Relationship: I choose to live in holy, intimate, obedient relationship with Adonai.
Prayer: Father, when the enemy is scheming and coming against me, give me the presence of mind to answer him with scripture, call on You, and allow You to send him running. Power and victory are in You. Amen.
Memory Verse: Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you are able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” TLV
