Read 2 Kings 19:1 through 21:26
On the earth today there are many things that can make us fearful. Terrorism is widespread around the globe. You read of murders, kidnapping, and rape every time you pick up a news[1]paper or turn on the television set. There are wars and rumors of wars just as the Bible predicted many years ago. All through history there have been terrible and fearful things happening in the world. Unfortunately, sometimes bad things have to happen before people will turn to the Lord.
Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on earth may know that you alone, O Lord, are God (2 Kings 19:19).
We must remember that the Lord can save us, no matter what is going on in the world. The Lord is not surprised by these happenings. He knew about the circumstances and that we would be in them. He can save us just like He saved the Israelites out of Pharaoh’s grasp in Egypt. As Christians we are in this world, but not of this world. We are just passing through.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Remember that the Lord knows how to save His people.
