“O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.”
Isaiah 37:16 KJV
When Hezekiah, king of Judah was facing the destruction of Jerusalem at the hand of Sennacherib, it was certain defeat. Sennacherib’s titles were king of Assyria, king of Babylon, king of the four corners of the world, king of the universe. But Hezekiah turned to the Lord of hosts, God of Israel, to God alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth, Who has made heaven and earth. Hezekiah led all the people in Jerusalem to worship God. Sennacherib had to leave suddenly and go back to Assyria from besieging Jerusalem. Worshipping the God Who made heaven and earth, in the midst of certain defeat and destruction, will bring the desired breakthrough. This is the ability that has been given now to all people who put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ Who died and rose again. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Let’s worship the living God Jesus even in the midst of disaster and He comes through for us! Hallelujah!
