NKJV 365 / The Law of Navigation: The Role of Planning and Praying

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 151 of 365 The Law of Navigation: The Role of Planning and Praying King Hezekiah provides an example of a leader who does what is humanly possible, then leans on God for the outcome. God had to do what the king could not do. A place exists for both preparation and prayer. To employ only one is naïve and incomplete. Taken from The Maxwell Leadership Bible Isaiah 37:14-20 NASB 14 Then Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord and spread it out before the L ord . 15 Hezekiah prayed to the Lord saying, 16 "O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. 17 Incline Your ear, O Lord , and hear; open Your eyes, O Lord , and see; and listen to all the words of Sennacherib, who sent them to reproach the living God. 18Truly, O Lord , the kings of Assyria have devastated all the countries and their lands, 19 and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. So they have destroyed them. 20 Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, Lord, are God."
