"Then the commander stepped forward and cried out in a loud voice in the language of Judah, "Listen to the words of the great king, the king of Assyria. Thus says the king: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he cannot rescue you. And do not let Hezekiah induce you to trust in the LORD, saying, 'The LORD will surely rescue us, and this city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.'" Isaiah 36:13-15
Isaiah 36 Stand Firm. King Hezekiah was facing insurmountable odds, it looked physically impossible for him to defeat this attack. The words of his enemy produced fear in his messengers, what did the king do? He turned to God and stood firm. Read 2 Kings 19:9-37 to see how it turned out. We face insurmountable odds during life, how have we handled them? Have we given into fear and acceptance or have we turned it over to God. God will fight for you, He will listen and if you stand firm, you will see victory. Heaven is the prize so always stand firm upon His word. The accounts in the Bible are there for a purpose, to reveal truth to those that will listen.

What is God saying to me:
Dear Lord God, we build faith when we listen, stand firm and allow You to reveal the plans You have for us. Help us stand firm Lord, to ignore our own human desire to be in control and know all the details. You are Mighty God, You are Holy God, You are King and I belong to You, I am Your Son. Thank You Father for making scripture come alive in my life, for allowing me to see. Prayers for a young couple getting married today who faced the army and stood firm, today is their victory. Bless their marriage with the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony for You are present. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Head of the Holy Family, Pray for us.
