Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of Yahweh, and spread it before Yahweh. Hezekiah prayed before Yahweh, and said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. 2 Kings 19:14'15 WEB.Hezekiah looked hopelessly over the city wall at the giant army. Jerusalem was completely surrounded by the same enemy who had destroyed all their neighboring cities. The enemy king, Sennacherib, had written Hezekiah a threatening letter demanding the surrender of Jerusalem.
King Hezekiah took the letter and spread it out before the Lord. He prayed and poured out his heart to God. Then God changed his circumstances. An angel of the Lord went out and put to death 185,000 soldiers in the Assyrian army (2 Kings 19:35). They didn't even get to shoot an arrow at the city. Sennacherib returned home to Nineveh humiliated, and while he was worshipping in his god's temple, his own sons killed him.
The panic in Jerusalem was for nothing, other than it inspired them to seek the Lord more seriously. The enemy army became an extremely profitable treasure hunt, as the Israelites spent days picking through the vast treasure they had been carrying. Overnight a very bad situation was turned into a very good one.
When you need help, the one to turn to is God. He alone can turn the tide in your favor. No one can stop His hand. No one can close a door that He opens. Others may let you down, but He will not. When God is with you, who can stand against you. He is God alone. There is none like Him.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I look to You today. Please deliver me, Lord, from the hand of my enemies. Set me free, and turn the bad situations I face into good ones as You did for Hezekiah. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!Note: 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.'
