The Living God Answers

Name Date

Read and Think

Hezekiah's response to crisis is a model. He humbled himself in sackcloth, went to God's house, and sought God's word through Isaiah. When the threatening letter came, he did not panic or bargain. He spread it before the Lord. His prayer began with who God is: enthroned above the cherubim, Creator of heaven and earth, God of all kingdoms.

Hezekiah's central request went beyond survival. He asked God to save them so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that the Lord alone is God. Sennacherib had mocked the living God. The issue was God's honor. Isaiah's oracle answered with sharp irony: the proud king who boasted of conquering mountains would be led home with a hook in his nose.

God promised that a remnant of Judah would again take root downward and bear fruit upward. That night the angel of the Lord struck one hundred eighty-five thousand Assyrians. Sennacherib went home and was later killed by his own sons in the temple of his god, who could not protect him. In the New Testament, Paul writes that if God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31).
