In Isaiah’s day, good King Hezekiah knew that God fights for His people.
Listen to the encouraging words he gave to his army:
Application:
God delivers us from death, hell, and the grave, through what Christ did on the cross.
Have you repented and turned to Jesus?
God deliver carries us, as we go through life.
Good days, and bad days.
Are you dealing with some things that God is calling you to a new level of trust?
God fights our battles… sometimes while we sit back, sometimes while we join in the battle.
Are you in a battle?
Let God fight for you.
Rest Trust!
