“Sennacherib,
the king of Assyria, will not enter this city or shoot an arrow here…
By the way that he came he will return… I will defend this city to save
it” (Isaiah 37:33-35). This, Lord, was Your answer to Hezekiah’s prayer
for salvation. What a great God You are! You are the God of our
salvation. You will answer our prayer for salvation. You love us: ‘God
so loved the world that He gave His only Son…’. Your Son, Jesus, died
for us: ‘God made Him who knew no sin (Christ) to be sin for us, so that
in Him we might become the righteousness of God’. Jesus promises to
receive all who come to Him for salvation: ‘I will never turn away
anyone who comes to Me’ (John 3:16; 6:37; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Thank
You, Lord.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
