2Ch 32:1, AFTER THESE DEEDS OF FAITHFULNESS, SENNACHERIB KING OF ASSYRIA CAME AND ENTERED JUDAH…
By following the LORD doesn’t exempt you from the troubles of this world. But, in HIM we will have peace knowing that HE will never leave us nor forsake us!
2Ch 32:7-8, BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS; DO NOT BE AFRAID NOR DISMAYED BEFORE THE KING OF ASSYRIA, nor before all the multitude that is with him; FOR THERE ARE MORE WITH US THAN WITH HIM. with him is an arm of flesh; BUT WITH US IS THE LORD OUR GOD, TO HELP US AND TO FIGHT OUR BATTLES.” …
Even if just two men were surrounded by a great army, IN THE LORD, WE OUTNUMBER THEM FOR GOD FIGHTS FOR US!
2Ki 6:16-17, So he answered, “DO NOT FEAR, FOR THOSE WHO ARE WITH US ARE MORE THAN THOSE WHO ARE WITH THEM.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see. Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
2Ch 32:10-11,13, “Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: ‘IN WHAT DO YOU TRUST?… DOES NOT HEZEKIAH PERSUADE YOU TO GIVE YOURSELVES OVER TO DIE BY FAMINE AND BY THIRST, saying, “The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria”? Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? WERE THE GODS OF THE NATIONS OF THOSE LANDS IN ANY WAY ABLE TO DELIVER THEIR LANDS OUT OF MY HAND?
LIKE A ROARING LION BRINGING FEAR AMONGST THE PEOPLE, YET WITH GOD HE IS A TOOTHLESS, FEEBLE, BLIND MAN WITH A CANE! DO NOT FEAR AND SEEK HIM FIRST; FOR IF GOD IS WITH US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
Psa 23:4, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME.
