2 Kings 18

Imagine being king Hezekiah.  You have done what is right all your life, but now it seems like that is not going to be enough.  Israel has fallen to Assyria, and now the Assyrians have come to Judah.  There seems to me no way out. 

Hezekiah’s words to his people were simply “the LORD will deliver us.”  He called on his people to stay faithful.  He knew the story was not over yet.

LORD, when things go from bad to worse, we commit ourselves to being faithful to you, and trusting in your deliverance.
