When Threats Loom, Where Do You Turn?

From Michael Wilcock, 2 Chronicles, Bible Speaks Today, p. 247:

Speaking of King Hezekiah...
"When there is a financial crisis, the first thing we think about is money. When there is a communications crisis, our prime concern is to learn how to talk the language of the modern generation. When there is a church attendance crisis, we make it our chief aim to get numbers up. If Hezekiah had responded to a military threat in a military way, the Assyrians would have understood that. Army would have been matched against army, with dire consequences for Judah. But instead he and his people first look up to God."
So needed in our day.  LOOK UP TO GOD!
