December 18th, 2 Chronicles 32-34
An age old question. "What can your God do? I think about contests and the prophets of Baal having no chance against the almighty God of the universe. Too often we sell God short because we are living in what we think we can do which is mostly double of that doo-doo!! But hey, revelation is helpful!
In chapter 32 the nation is in trouble. God asks them to be strong and courageous. Which I have to add is different than safe, warm, comfortable. Stop praying for that stuff! PLEASE!!Verse 8 With Him(Assyrian King) is an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.
Screaching sound...ff to verse 20
People prayed... the Lord sent an angel, who cut off the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the king of Assyria. When the king fled and went to the house of his god, his sons killed him with the sword. All things are not equal. So let's learn to live in this world with a God who is all-powerful.
Oh yeah, Josiah was 8 years old when he became king. When he became 16 he had the nerve to confront all that was wrong, take a stand, trust God. I have a feeling there is much of that to be done in our day as well!
