“The daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.” — Isaiah 37:22

Reassured by the Word of the Lord, the poor trembling citizens of Ziongrew bold, and shook their heads at Sennacherib’s boastful threats. Strongfaith enables the servants of God to look with calm contempt upon theirmost haughty foes. We know that our enemies are attemptingimpossibilities. They seek to destroy the eternal life, which cannot diewhile Jesus lives; to overthrow the citadel, against which the gates of hellshall not prevail. They kick against the pricks to their own wounding, andrush upon the bosses of Jehovah’s buckler to their own hurt.

We know their weakness. What are they but…

men? And what is man but aworm? They roar and swell like waves of the sea, foaming out their ownshame. When the Lord ariseth, they shall fly as chaff before the wind, andbe consumed as crackling thorns. Their utter powerlessness to do damageto the cause of God and His truth, may make the weakest soldiers inZion’s ranks laugh them to scorn.

Above all, we know that the Most High is with us, and when He dressesHimself in arms, where are His enemies? If He cometh forth from Hisplace, the potsherds of the earth will not long contend with their Maker.His rod of iron shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel, and theirvery remembrance shall perish from the earth. Away, then, all fears, thekingdom is safe in the King’s hands. Let us shout for joy, for the Lordreigneth, and His foes shall be as straw for the dunghill.

“As true as God’s own word is true; Nor earth, nor hell, with all their crew, Against us shall prevail.
A jest, and by-word, are they grown; God is with us, we are his own, Our victory cannot fail.”
