Why Encouragement is so Important
“He may have a great army, but they are merely men. We have the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!” Hezekiah’s words greatly encouraged the people.” 2 Chronicles 32:8 NLT
Hezekiah was a great leader. He had encountered tremendous success in his reign. He was now faced with the mighty a Assyrian army. No one had ever defeated this vast horde. Everyone was afraid. This is where Hezekiah’s faith was demonstrated by declaring that God was mightier than human strength. This greatly encouraged the people.
