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

Aug 7 – Who is God? - Isaiah 40:15-20
Aug 7 – Who is God? - Isaiah 40:15-20
The nations are like dust. Not all the forest in Lebanon is enough for the Lord. The nations are.
Nothing, worthless and in fact less than nothing. No idol, image made of any material can compare
To the Lord. The skilled craftsman can make an image or idol, but they have no life and are the works
Of men. No one or nothing is like the Lord. He is the eternal, all powerful, all knowing, pure and holy one.

Aug 6 – A sharp Instrument - Isaiah 41:11-16
Aug 6 – A sharp Instrument - Isaiah 41:11-16
Isaiah reminds his audience that all who have hurt them through anger will be shamed and
dishonored. Those that contend with them will be nothing and perish. They could look for
people to fight with but there are none or nonexistent.
The reason for this is because The Lord is upholding them with his right hand. That is why He can
Say, “Do not fear and that He will help them.” They may at times be lowly but the Lord in His grace and
mercy will help them. He is the Holy redeemer of Israel. He has bought them back from their sin.
The Lord is going to make them like a sharp instrument, and they will be able to cut through any
Nation. They will be able to pulverize their enemies. They will be like a storm and scatter them.
The people will rejoice in the Lord and give glory to the Holy One of Israel. What a promise.
