2 Kings 18 - Day 480

2 Kings 18 - Day 480 (link to today's reading)

Scripture: 2 Kings 18:6-12

Observation: Hezekiah becomes king of Judah and puts his trust in the Lord.  In contrast, king Hoshea of Israel disregards the Mosaic covenant and the northern kingdom is besieged by Assyria.

Application: God's blessings come with obedience.  Although there was no one like Hezekiah among all the kings of Judah, like a bully the king of Assyria chose to pick on the southern kingdom of Israel.  The ending of this chapter gives us the impression that all was lost but in reality, God is in control so remain faithful.

Prayer: Lord, help us...
