2 Chronicles 32
PREPARE THE HORSE

The wise man writing Proverbs said, “The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.” (Proverbs 21 v 31 ESV). It was this principle from Proverbs that Hezekiah enacted in a very practical way.

When Sennacherib threatened to besiege Jerusalem, Hezekiah got to work. He stopped up the springs of water that were outside the city so that the Assyrians would not have access to water, he built up the wall, made towers, built an extra wall, manufactured as much armoury as he could, and called the people together to encourage and motivate them. Hezekiah had prepared the horse for battle.

But as Hezekiah encouraged the people, this is what he said: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde 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.” (2 Chronicles 32 v 7 – 8 ESV). The city was prepared, but the LORD was their winning strength. Prepare the horse, but don’t rely on it. Rely on the LORD.

We need to do the same. In the battles we face we should do what we can, but most of all, we must rely on God to win the war.

May we grow to totally rely on God this week.

With love in our Lord,
Robert

Thinky Things 3
Twenty-five years after Robert began writing Thinky Things, Volume 3 completes a thought for each day based on a Bible reading plan of three daily Bible readings, to read the whole Bible in a year. Robert’s selection of Thinky Things seem deceptively simple, yet are sure to challenge, stimulate, encourage and provoke everyone, from the casual Bible reader through to the more serious Bible student.
While each volume stands alone, collecting all three provides a complete companion to your year-long journey through the Bible.
This third collection of Thinky Things will continue to inspire as Robert draws out valuable and life-changing lessons from the word of God for everyone.
Let God’s word come alive—one reading, one thought, one day at a time.
Available in mid-November, God willing. Order yours now.
