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. This
should be the reaction of any child of God. He then sent the officials that had met with he field
commander to Isaiah. The message given to the prophet was that this was a distress, rebuke, and
disgrace. Like when a child is born and then is no longer any strength to deliver them. They were in
trouble.
Isaiah then tells them the Lord has a message for Hezekiah. The words given by the underlings from
Assyria have blasphemed the Lord. The King will hear a report and then return to his own country and
Be cut down by the sword. A lesson here s that when people either mock God or the people of God
They are condemning themselves and will have to face the consequences that is why we should leave
Things in God’s hands and let Him defend us.
