There's No one Like Our God

I was reading in 2 Kings the other day in chapter 19. I'll put some of the chapter up here on the blog, but if you want to see the whole chapter here's the link.
The king of Assyria comes to declare war on Israel. He sends Rabshakeh with this message:   
 "...Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, devoting them to destruction. And shall you be delivered?  Have the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my fathers destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar?  Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?’” 2 Kings 19:11-13 ESV
I love how Hezekiah responds- with faith and trust as he brings it before the Lord:
"Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord and spread it before the Lord.  And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said: “O Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.  Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God. Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands  and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed.  So now, O Lord our God, save us, please, from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Lord, are God alone.”" 2 Kings 19:14-19 ESV
( If you just skimmed the above, read it again slowly and carefully, letting the words sink in.)
I love how he ends: "...that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O LORD, are God alone."
God then speaks through the prophet Isaiah, to tell him:
“...Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city or shoot an arrow there, or come before it with a shield or cast up a siege mound against it.  By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, declares the Lord.  For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.” 2 Kings 19:32-34 ESV

And then God's powerful hand is shown:
"And that night the angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when people arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.  Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and went home and lived at Nineveh.  And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him down with the sword and escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place." 2 Kings 19:35-37ESV

"Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. 
 Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
He also is to be feared above all gods. 
 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens. 
 Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place." 1 Chronicles 16:23-27 NASB

Oh, and as for the Prayer Focus... praise God for for being awesome! Come to Him like Hezekiah did and tell Him what's on your heart. 
As for me, I feel so excited that my God is God over ALL. 
In Christ,
