Faithfulness. Sennacherib the king of Assyria came and invaded Judah,
besieged the fortified cities and thought to break into them for
himself. The enemy and God both want your life.

God wants you for himself, the enemy wants you for himself. And the
enemy will do everything he can to undermine what God is doing in your
life and try and reclaim you, if you like, for his purpose. Now notice
the enemy has already invaded Judah.

He's already besieged certain fortified cities. In other words, he's
already got a track record amongst the people of God. And now he is
heading towards Jerusalem where Hezekiah lives.

So what does Hezekiah do? Verse 2, now when Hezekiah saw that
Sennacherib had come and that he intended to make war, so the first
thing he recognizes is, number one, he's got an adversary, he's got an
enemy. You and I need to take seriously the fact that you have an
adversary. Doesn't matter how old you are spiritually, there is an
adversary.

Your adversary, the Bible calls him, goes around as a roaring lion
seeking whom he may devour. And his whole job is to undermine, again,
the grace of God.
