Hezekiah's Story: Judah Invaded, Assyria Has Come. (2 Kings 18:13-18)

#wrble #werisebyliftingothers #biblereading
After being forced to pay a king's random and wanting more, the larger empire comes to strike fear, even after stripping the most precious of things to try and appease and still more is wanted. They won't strip Jerusalem of her beauty, won't strip Judah of her crown. The LORD shall protect HIS city and HE does. When Judah forgets her story and gives her crown away, her beauty is stripped and she doesn't even know it: The laments of the prophets as they cry out waiting for The LORD and believing for HIS More.

Tyndale NLT, 2015
