Read 2Kings 19:10-19
Twenty-month-old James was leading his family confidently through the hallways of their large church. His daddy kept an eye on him the whole time as James toddled his way through the crowd of “giants”. Suddenly the little boy panicked because he could not see his dad. He stopped, looked around and started to cry, “Daddy, Daddy!” His dad quickly caught up with him and little James reached up his hand, which daddy strongly clasped. Immediately James was at peace.
Second Kings tells the story of King Hezekiah, who reached up to God for help (v 19;15). Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, had made threats against
Hezekiah and the people of Judah, saying, “Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you . . . . You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them; and shall you be delivered?” (vs 10-11). King Hezekiah went to the Lord and prayed for deliverance so “that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord God” (vs 14-19). In answer to his prayers, the angel of the Lord struck down the enemy, and Sennacherib withdrew (vs 20-36).
If you’re in a situation where you need God’s help, reach up your hands to Him in prayer. He has promised His comfort and help (2Corinthians 1:1-3; Hebrews 4:16).
Prayer:
¥ Pray for the Kings Kids children. Ask God to bless them with growth, with maturity and a deeper understanding of His Word. Pray that the leaders and teachers and helpers and Coordinator (Jane) would be blessed by their work.
¥ Ask God to bless the people who serve behind the scenes in so many different ways. Pray that these individuals and groups would know deeply the love of God, the approval of God and the blessed hand of God upon their lives.
