Who can ever understand the Spirit of the Lord? Who can ever give him advice?

The Lord made Judah a place where it wasn’t safe to live anymore. At that time, you depended on the weapons in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.You saw that the walls of the City of David were broken through in many places. You stored up water in the Lower Pool.You picked out the weaker buildings in Jerusalem. You tore them down and used their stones to strengthen the city walls against attack.You built a pool between the two walls. You used it to save the water that was running down from the Old Pool. But you didn’t look to the God who made it all possible. You didn’t pay any attention to the God who planned everything long ago.

“ Who can ever know what the Lord is thinking? Or who can ever give him advice?”( Isaiah 40:13)

Plans fail without good advice. But they succeed when there are many advisers.

The other events of the rule of Hezekiah are written down. That includes how he made the pool and the tunnel. He used them to bring water into Jerusalem. Everything he accomplished is written in the official records of the kings of Judah.

If you go to war, you surely need guidance. If you want to win, you need many good advisers.

You say you have a military plan. You say you have a strong army. But your words don’t mean anything. Who are you depending on? Why don’t you want to stay under my control?

Plans are made by asking for guidance. So if you go to war, get good advice.
