  3. Oh the hubris of those who don’t know God and who choose to come against God’s people. All they perceive is what they see with their eyes and often it may appear that they are more powerful and God’s people are all washed up. They say we are deceived when in actuality they are deceived. So we shouldn’t be surprised when people of the world come at us like this, because they can only understand what their senses tell them….faith is foolishness to them. And they will mock and criticize anything they can think of. Ah, but we know better, don’t we? We know that God is more powerful. That God can make a way when there seems to be no way. That God is a pro at beating the odds and making much out of little. He specializes in meeting superior forces with a smaller number of faithful shoulders. And we get to participate in that and see God overcome. We just have to believe as we go through it so our hearts can be at rest while God works out His plan.

  7. Rabshakeh’s speech here was like a bully in the playground that wanted to make the people concede without even having to fight. He wanted to mock them and deceive them and convince them there was no point in fighting because there was no chance. Sometimes can look so bleak but God is always there.
    The funny part was when Rabshakeh said God told him to destroy them because while that was not entirely true this attack was part of God’s plan and He would use it for His ultimate glory. A reminder that God’s plan doesn’t always look like we think it should but is always the right way.
