Hezekiah

In our studies through the Bible we are currently in 2 Kings 18- King Hezekiah. in this particular chapter we see a great chapter on building your faith. The Kingdom is surrounded by Assyrians - and is being taunted by the Rabshakeh or the Assyrian kings personal spokesman. As he mocks God and derides His character, the people of Israel are tested in their faith and trust of God. Can God protect them, can He deliver them. Will He show up on their behalf. When you are surrounded these are important questions. Well the answer is yes, they trust in the Lord and the word that God delivers through the prophet came to pass. Their attackers leave and the pagan king is killed in his own country by his own kin.
What was the key to all this;  Hezekiah did what was right in the sight of the Lord and God honored him and his stand against the enemies of the Lord.
When we trust God beyond what we can see and He, God works our problems out to His glory.
