How does Hezekiah balance faith and practical preparation?

Hezekiah prepares wisely for Assyria’s attack while placing full trust in the Lord’s power to save.

What do the Assyrians’ taunts teach us about unbelief?

Their mockery shows how unbelief reduces God to an idol and tries to weaken the faith of God’s people.

Why is prayer the turning point in Hezekiah’s story?

God delivers Judah after Hezekiah and Isaiah cry out to Him, showing that divine power is released through prayer.

How does Hezekiah’s pride warn us after victory?

Hezekiah’s pride after deliverance shows the need to remain humble even after God answers prayer.

Hezekiah’s Trials and Triumphs: Trusting God in the Face of Threats

Monday, November 17, 2025 · 2 Chronicles 32 · Speaker: Dave Jenkins

Show Summary

Yesterday, in 2 Chronicles 31, we saw revival take root in daily life as Hezekiah led Judah in faithful worship and stewardship. Today, in 2 Chronicles 32, that faith is tested. Assyria invades under King Sennacherib and threatens destruction. Through prayer and trust, the Lord defends His people. Hezekiah’s leadership reminds us that wise preparation and earnest prayer walk together as we rest in God who saves.

Conclusion

Thanks for joining me today on Reading the Bible Daily with Dave. In 2 Chronicles 32, we saw how God defended His people against impossible odds. Hezekiah’s faith and prayer remind us that the Lord is our defender, our refuge, and our strength. Tomorrow, we turn to 2 Chronicles 33 and consider the tragic fall and astonishing repentance of Manasseh.
