NOVEMBER 25
Hezekiah received the letter   .   .   .   and read it   .   .   .   and spread it before the Lord.
2 Kings 19:14
Hezekiah didn’t like what he read in the letter he had just received, so he went into the house of the Lord and prayed to God, asking for His protection and care. Notice that he didn’t rush to call his friends first, but rather went to God. God’s answer to his prayer was, “I have heard  .  .  .  I will defend this city, to save it, for Mine own sake.” 1 Kings 19:20,34. Of Israel’s enemies, 185,000 died that night. Do you think Hezekiah was glad that he had gone to the Lord about it? You can be sure he was.
