Chapter 19 Hezekiah's Faith
1. trust in weakness
Assyria, which destroyed the northern kingdom of Israel, was closing in on the southern kingdom of Judah, and the southern kingdom of Judah was also in danger of survival. What will believer Hezekiah do? With everything stripped away and pressured to surrender, one would normally give up and think it's over. But Hezekiah does not give up. People sometimes wonder what will happen if they don't give up and cling to God. Even though we are weakened to the limit and have no hope, we will still persevere and pray for God's mercy. That was his faith. Where did his unwavering faith come from? After all, it should be said that it was the days of thorough obedience to God that "the high places were removed, the stone pillars were broken, the statue of Asherah was cut down, and the bronze serpent made by Moses was broken." "For in his days we may say that he did all that was right in the sight of the Lord, just as his father David did (2 Kings 18:3), and God also acknowledged him.
After all, it is natural for human beings to have a vague relationship with God. It's no wonder. Humans are weak sinners. But even so, if you follow the Lord, there are times in your life when you are told that this is the time to stand on the word of the Lord. God's word that supports such awareness is also given. All good things come from above.
3. Hezekiah's Prayer
What is important is how you pray when you are reminded to stand in faith. Verse 14 says Hezekiah, taking the threatening letter of Rab Shakeh, went up to the house of his Lord and spread it out before the Lord to pray. It's not a big deal. He was frank about his plight. Don't worry, don't lament, just show the facts and admit that you don't even have the power to create God's miracles in hopeless situations. Just like Jacob did, we cling to God, saying that we can't take another step without the Lord's blessing, and we don't let the God of blessing go away.
Four. righteous god, covenant-keeping god
Thus a miracle of God happened. The Assyrian army collapsed overnight. There are various speculations as to what happened, whether it was an epidemic like dysentery or the plague, but no one knows for sure. It was truly a historical event that showed the mercy of the Lord. However, none of this event is recorded in the fragments of Sennacherib's Chronicle in the Louvre Museum.
The Lord is the creator and keeper of all things. The words Sennacherib touted as his own achievements also happened in God's plan and will. The Lord saw every move of Sennacherib (vv. 27, 28), recognized his pride, and determined to bring him back to Assyria. All Hezekiah wanted was for Sennacherib's pressure to be lifted. But the Lord was more concerned with Sennacherib's own pride than with Sennacherib's oppression of Judah. Judah was Judah, Sennacherib was Sennacherib, and the Lord was seen as having something to judge.
In addition, although Judas avoided this crisis, it should be said that everything was stripped away, and the path to rebuilding Judas had a dark future. But the Lord promises to add mercy. The devastated fields will be restored, and the harvest that has been interrupted for some time will resume (v. 29). “It takes root below and bears fruit above” (verse 30). He says that He will give us time to put down roots, and that He will give us the strength to bear fruit. It was God's covenant decision "for my servant David" (v. 34). There are things in life when relatives and friends don't help, and organizations don't. Sometimes people run out of things to do in isolation and helplessness. But don't forget that there is hope in God. Realizing that this is the time to stand in faith and clinging to God's mercy is the beginning of faith growth. I hope you have a good day today.
<Quiz Corner>
First, yesterday's quiz. When the northern kingdom of Israel fell, which non-biblical source would be depicting Assyria's victory in war? â Mesha Stele, â¡Tiller Prism, â¢Siloam Inscription, the answer is â¡Tiller Prism. A 38.5-centimeter-high hexagonal stone stele, in which Sennacherib's deeds are recorded in Akkadian. It is called the Tiller prism because it was discovered by British Colonel Taylor in 1830. Here's today's Bible quiz. In Sennacherib's time, what was the official language of the world used for deeds of credit and bills of exchange? â Arabic, â¡ Aramaic, ⢠Hebrew, the answer will be tomorrow. I hope you have a good day today.
