Leviticus 22:1-33; Psalm 128:1-131:3; Mark 8:11-26
Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us. 2 Chron. 32:7-8
When Hezekiah was being intimidated by the King of Assyria and his vast army, he reminded his people that the Assyrians were trusting their own strength (v 8), whereas he and the kingdom of Judah had the Lord on their side. In a world that is increasingly in revolt against God’s standards and often opposes true believers, we must look at everything from God’s viewpoint and then stand up for the truth whatever it might cost. —David Croudace
Dare to be a Daniel! Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm! Dare to make it known! —Philip P. Bliss
