"Gods Destroyed..."

“Gods Destroyed…”

Blessings folk!

One last point from Hezekiah’s prayer…

The Kings of Assyria had been successful in their campaigns.
Note what they had done to the varied gods.
Note why.

2Ki 19:14+
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD and spread it before the LORD.
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD and said: “O LORD, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.
Incline your ear, O LORD, and hear; open your eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God.
Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands
and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed.
So now, O LORD our God, save us, please, from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O LORD, are God alone.


Hezekiah acknowledged the success of Assyria.
He also pointed out that the gods of the nations had been destroyed…cast into fire, laid waste.
Why?
Because the gods were the work of men’s hands.
They worshipped what they made.

So is man today.

The world worships that which is made by man.
Such will be destroyed.
All will burn.

Believers, on the other hand, worship the Most High God, the Lord of All.

Be reminded.
Live in this truth.
Fear not what the worshippers of the hand of man might do.
Seek the Lord.
Fear Him.
Rest and trust in Him.
