Day 258...(2 Chronicles 31,32; Isaiah 20)..."Steel in the Spines"

Hezekiah could sure inspire. Against a great threat he gave a pep talk that made his troops "with steel in their spines." Wow what an image. He also stated convincingly that God's power always created a majority among mere men. Here is the account from the Message translation...

"Hezekiah rallied the people, saying, "Be strong! Take courage! Don't be intimidated by the king of Assyria and his troops—there are more on our side than on their side. He only has a bunch of mere men; we have our God to help us and fight for us!"Morale surged. Hezekiah's words put steel in their spines."
