2 Chronicles 32:7 (ESV) — “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or
dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, for
there are more with us than with him.
NOTE: Hezekiah made
extensive changes to prepare for the king of Assyria. He rebuilt walls, towers,
stopped brooks and springs, added a second surrounding wall, and accumulated a
great amount of shields and weapons. He was prudent and took action. But his
words to the troops and people show that his trust was not in all his
preparation, but in God. And this statement was not intended to suggest that
there were more people in Israel than in Assyria, but rather, that the Lord and
the Lord's army greatly tilted the battle in their favor. So, we do the best we
can, but we trust in God for the results, and not in the effort we put into our
endeavor.
PRAYER: Father, help
me to keep that attitude. I want to do the best I can in my job, but I want to
trust you for the results always.
