[God speaking] “’Then this
shall be the sign for you: you will eat
this year what grows of itself, in the second year what springs from the same,
and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards and eat [consume] their fruit.
“’The surviving remnant of the
house of Judah will again take root downward and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant
and out of Mount Zion survivors. The
zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
“’Therefore,’ says the Lord
concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city or shoot an
arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield, or throw up a siege
ramp against it.
“’By the way that he came, by the
same he will return, and he will not come to this city,’ declares the
Lord. ‘For I will defend this city to save
it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’” Isaiah 37:30-35
God always keeps His promises,
even if we forget. God would defend
Jerusalem for the sake of His honour; and for David’s sake in remembering His
promise to David. Assyria had insulted
God and therefore, would not be His instrument to punish Jerusalem for their
disobedience.
Jerusalem was vulnerable and
unable to defend themselves against such a mighty army as the Assyrians
were. Yet, what Jerusalem could not
possibly do, God would do for them and keep His promise. God is always prepared to do the impossible
if we trust Him enough to ask.
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.
