Christian Devotional – August 19, 2024

Times of Transition, Day 39

Response. Read 2 Kings chapter 19.

Twice in this chapter, Hezekiah receives a word from the enemy king. Twice in this chapter the first thing he does is go directly to the Lord and lay it before God. We receive notice of lots of different things all day long. Do we take it directly to the Lord? Hezekiah didn’t try to figure out a response. In fact, he had no idea how to respond. Instead he took everything to the Lord and asked for God’s response.

We have to be able to trust God and recognize that he has our best interest in mind. He is going to be working to fulfill everything that he has planned. We simply need to trust in him. Will we bring all of our questions and situations to God? We cannot control any of them and only he can. We must trust in him.
