TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
That night the angel of the LORD went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp.
2 Kings 19:35, NIV

And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
2 Kings 19:35, KJV

TODAY’S WORD
In 2 Kings 20, soon before King Hezekiah received a promise of healing from God and then asked for a sign of assurance, he had seen the greatest victory of his life. The powerful Assyrian army was about to attack Jerusalem, but when Hezekiah prayed and asked God to help them, that very night an angel destroyed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. Hezekiah and the people of Judah were spared. You would think Hezekiah wouldn’t need a sign for his promised healing. He had just seen a supernatural victory. But how often do we forget what God has done? As with Hezekiah, God has shown up and turned things around for us. He’s healed us, protected us, freed us, promoted us. If you need a sign, look back at the goodness of God in your life. Look back at how He gave you strength, how He promoted you and gave you breaks, how he turned your child around, how he brought someone great into your life to love. When you need evidence, look back at the faithfulness of God.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
“FATHER, thank You for the history that I have with You and for the mercies You have shown out in my life. Thank You that I can remember Your constant goodness and every victory You’ve given me. I declare that Your faithfulness is all the evidence I need. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
