Isaiah Meanderings (31): Ch 37 - God Shows Up in Response to Hezekiah's Prayer in the Temple

In Chapter 37 of Isaiah, God responds to Hezekiah. Hezekiah, instead of turning to idols or Egypt, turns to God. And God responds to Hezekiah's prayer. Hezekiah knows he is praying to the only true God - and the only true God clearly identifies with His people - it IS as personal for God as it is for Hezekiah. The strength of Assyria's army is not able to deter God, regardless of what they may think. Jerusalem has a future because the God of Israel is a saving God, faithful to the righteous when they call upon His name.
