We face many enemies, internal, external, physical or even our own memories or traumas may be a major enemy of our soul. Our response can look different depending on the enemy. Sometimes we need to forgive others, sometimes we need to forgive ourselves and other times, we need to stand our ground and persevere, fighting our enemies so that we are not chained by them.

Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. (Psalm 119:98)

We must not make the same mistake as the king Hezekiah.

12 At that time Berodach-baladan a son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 13 Hezekiah listened to and welcomed them and [foolishly] showed them all his treasure housethe silver and gold and spices and precious oil and his armory and everything that was found in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house (palace) nor in all his realm that Hezekiah did not show them. (2 King 20:12-13)

Hunger is more potent than complacency. While hunger preys, complacency vanishes. It is historically proven. Thirty years of American history shows the ramification of our lack of understanding toward other countries and their advancement. We gave opportunities to educated foreigners and train them to prosperbut then suddenly those who are benefited from American education turned our back and lifted their heels against us. Bible is the book of salvation, but also a book of wisdom and history.

There is an ancient Israel King; his name was Hezekiah. We can learn a lesson from his mistakes.
