Israel and King Hezekiah were reeling from defeat at the hands of the Assyrian army. The Assyrian king Sennacherib sent his spokesman to deliver a taunting message to the representatives from Israel, warning them not to turn to Egypt for help (2 Kings 18:21). The men of Hezekiah had been instructed to remain silent during the report of the messenger.
The men did, however, relate the message to Hezekiah. His response was immediate! “He tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth and entered the house of the Lord” (19:1), repenting of his sins and seeking God’s face. He then sent messengers to the prophet Isaiah to tell him what the pagan king had said. Isaiah responded that the king need not fear since the Lord had heard the blasphemous words of the pagan king and was about to act on behalf of His own name.
When you feel defeated and think the world is spiraling out of control, remember the Lord has heard everything. He can be trusted to act for the glory of His own name.
Prayer. Thank you that I can pray with the confidence that you hear and respond. I will trust in You alone today.
