God and Our Problems 

Is 34-37 When Sennacherib tried to get Hezekiah to fumble the ball and give the victory to him, he had no idea who he was dealing with! That is the way it is with unbelievers. Read Psalm 2 and see how God handles taunts! “the one enthroned in heaven laughs in disgust; the Lord taunts them,” Then he sends in the artillery and takes them down just like he did with Sennacherib! God sent an angel and took the lives of 185,000 of Sennacherib’s soldiers and sent him packing back to Assyria, where he was killed by his own sons. 

“Don’t mess with God!” was the message, and unbelievers should take note. But, as Paul noted, the adversary blinds the minds of the unbeliever lest they see the holy God. [2Cor 4:4]

We tend to make light of this story, but if truth be known, God uses things like this to get our attention. When Sennacherib taunted King Hezekiah, he took it to God and let God take care of the problem. We should do the same, but we often try to solve the problem using human methods. Take a lesson from Hezekiah and learn that God can better handle our adversaries than we can.
