Shoring up Weaknesses
“Shoring” is the process of temporarily supporting a building, vessel, structure, or trench with shores (props) when in danger of collapse or during repairs or alterations. Shoring comes from shore, a timber or metal prop. Shoring may be vertical, angled, or horizontal.
5 Lessons we can take from 2 Chronicles 32:1-8
Consult with trusted advisors - friends, pastors, counselors, fellow Kingdom writers - for wisdom and understanding moving forward. King Hezekiah showed humility by asking for help.
Cut off anything that might fuel or refresh our enemy and allow him to prolong his attack. Sin is an obvious thing to cut off. Perhaps we also need to consider cutting off toxic people in our lives. Cut off the flow of toxic news or other social media that the enemy might utilize to create anxiety.
Healing of the broken places in our lives. Shoring up those weaknesses to prevent the enemy from constantly zeroing in on those vulnerable areas. Perhaps forming a small prayer team could be a form of constructing a “second wall” outside the first.
Manufacturing large numbers of weapons and shields could represent reading, meditating, and memorizing God’s Word daily. Listening to godly teachings that help sharpen us.
Reminding ourselves and others that we have a power far greater on our side. (2 Kings 6:15-17) Notice that Hezekiah was proactive in doing the things he could while also looking to the Lord for ultimate protection over his enemies.
