God is Our Guardian
King Sennacherib was Assyrian King. He waged wars against Babylon
and the Hebrew kingdom of Judah. He was very much involved in building the city
of Nineveh. He troubled King Hezekiah. King Hezekiah prayed and believed that King
Sennacherib was not in charge of them but God. The King Sennacherib was put to death
by his son (2 Kings 19:37; 2 Chr. 32:21).
God sent the prophet Isaiah and learned about him from King
Hezekiah. Prophet Isaiah speaks about his downfall. God blesses each one with abilities to build
the kingdom of God, at least to be good, to do good and to be happy in life. Human
beings take everything into their control destroy others and as a consequence harm
themselves. Let us learn to accept that God is our creator, and we are his creatures
and submit to his care and love.
Do we give priority to God or ourselves?
