Daily Devotional: Cry To Him

CRY TO HIM
2 Chronicles 32:1-22

King Hezekiah was faced by an insurmountable challenge in the hand of Sennacherib, king of Assyria. “…Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered Judah; he encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them over to himself. 2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem, 3 he consulted with his leaders and commanders to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him.” (2 Chronicles 32:1-3) As a result of a war starting against Jerusalem, Hezekiah began to put up all the possibilities that could help in defeating the king of Assyria. Hezekiah built a wall of defense, raised up towers, and he put in position his military force. He also encouraged his force to be strong and courageous. In Sennacherib’s confrontation against Hezekiah, he blasphemed against the name of God by saying, “Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?” (2chronicles 32:14) How much worse can it be when the enemy remained in the face of a believer that had done all to fight against the enemy, without a sign of victory over the enemy? In your case, you have done all that could be done to get out from where the enemy has positioned himself. God is the only Changing changer with the power, and might in His hand to change situations. He alone is enough to fight battles without anyone lifting a hand against the enemy. Isaiah 58:9, “Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am…’” The Word of God is true to anyone that takes it and mixes it with faith. As confrontation continues to grow “Now because of this King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to heaven. 21 Then the LORD sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned shamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.” (2 Chronicles 32: 20-21) God has never failed and His word cannot fail. Just as it has been said that ‘You shall cry, and He will say, ‘here I am’”, The Lord showed up for Hezekiah and Isaiah when He heard their cry. God will hear your cry, the enemy will cry, and there shall be no help coming forth for him.
Prayer for today:Father, in every area that you have positioned me for my victory over the forces of the enemy, let me not fail, but be a winner.
