 August 8 – The Reaction - Isaiah 37:1-7

Hezekiah as a godly king tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went to the house of the Lord. Thisshould be the reaction of any child of God. He then sent the officials that had met with he fieldcommander to Isaiah. The message given to the prophet was that this was a distress, rebuke, anddisgrace. Like when a child is born and then is no longer any strength to deliver them. They were introuble. Isaiah then tells them the Lord has a message for Hezekiah. The words given by the underlings fromAssyria have blasphemed the Lord. The King will hear a report and then return to his own country andBe cut down by the sword. A lesson here s that when people either mock God or the people of GodThey are condemning themselves and will have to face the consequences that is why we should leaveThings in God’s hands and let Him defend us.
