This was how it was supposed to work. When the going got tough, the tough went to the Lord. Both Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah went before the Lord to plead for His people and their defense. The prophet did what he did (2 Kings 19:21-34) and the Lord sent his angel of death and killed 185,000 of Sennacherib's men. Sennacherib went back alone and defeated without a single Judean harmed. He was literally like a scolded dog with his tail between his legs. He went back to his created god's temple and there his sons killed him. News of this traveled fast and the Lord and Jerusalem were respected and revered. The Lord protected them on all sides and in turn they received the wealth of surrounding nations.
All in all a decent day at work. I got a little further on my sermon and will plug away at it over the next week or so. Also got some more confirmation regarding the Missions weekend so that is good as well. Glad to hear that GG and Irene are enjoying themselves in FL and that the condo is good as well. Hoping that David has a good time at the NYY games but he better bundle up!!!
Praise for today: Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice. And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah Psalm 50: 5&6
