Today in the One Year Playbook we find out if Hezekiah was ready to lead when the Storm hit.
The Storm was Sennacherib and the Assyrian Army invading Judah.
The people were beginning to worry as the enemy set up camp outside of Judah.
Hezekiah shows Great Leadership and Encouragement here with this speech:
"With him (Sennacherib) is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles." And the people were Strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah."
2Chronicles 32:8
The enemy then tried to get people to doubt Hezekiah's leadership. He did this verbally and he wrote letters.
What did Hezekiah do?
"Hezekiah Prayed"
2 Chronicles 32:20
Hezekiah gave it to the Lord and God performed an Amazing Victory. In the Book of 2 Kings and Isaiah you can read how God brought the Victory.
2 Kings 18:1-19; Isaiah 36-39
Friends, the same is true in our lives. When we are on the Road to Victory and accomplishing Great things for God the enemy will set up camp and try to bring us down.
After he sets up camp he will try to bring in negative thoughts that make our head spin out of control. The enemy wants to derail us.
This is why Jesus Encouraged us to Build a Solid Foundation in Matthew 7. So when the Storms come we will be prepared and be able to Stand.
Hezekiah passed the test because he got his people Spiritually Prepared.
Great Leaders Prepare Their Team so when the Storm hits the Team is Prepared.
Just Go! Win the Day!
Rick
