2 Chr 32: 7 “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. 8 With him is an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people took confidence from the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
Like David, King Hezekiah prayed and encouraged the people. But that was because King Hezekiah was right with God. Even though God has raised up the Assyrian against Jerusalem, but because He still loved His children, plus the attitude of the commander of the Assyrian army defiled God, God delivered King Hezekiah.
What then is our heart and what then should be our attitude? Beware and check them, so that I can be right with God always.
The land flowing with milk and honey. What is the heart and what is the right attitude to poccess it? No impossible - like that of the spies that sought out the land, or be strong and courages - like that of Joshua. Poccess the land and know that the stronghold cannot pit against the Lord - they can come with arm of flesh and strength, but it is the Lord we have, that they are pitting against.
I pray therefore to check my heart against any complacency, that it is and it is because of the Lord that I am entering the land and poccess the land.
As we are also looking for a house, Lord I pray that you will give us the best - best in your sight.
I pray for Rachael, that you will look after mother and child to full term of pregancy.
I pray for my Josef, who has grown much taller - that he will too grow not only in statue, but also in wisdom and in favour with God and man.
I pray for Deborah, that she will come to know Jesus.
I pray for father, that you will continue to work in his spirit.
I pray for Liyuan, that she will grow in you and be a disciple for you.
