Isaiah 37:11(b)...They (the Kings of Assyria) have completely destroyed everyone who stood in their way! Why should you be any different?
Exodus 8:23 I will make a difference between My people and your people...
Why should we be any different to anybody else? Because God has said "I will make a difference.."
We don't need to make it complicated.We need to keep it simple.
We belong to God. We are God's property. God is protecting us because we are His. God is providing for us whatever we need because we're His and we're looking to Him.
In Isaiah 37 we read the story of King Hezekiah being majorly threatened by a foreign king who had annihilated all other kingdoms and brought them to nothing. He brought total defeat wherever he went. It was this king who now threatened King Hezekiah and God's people. The foreign king even had the cheek to say "what makes you think you're different to everybody else? So Hezekiah sought the Lord!
Well keep reading because we find God answers King Hezekiah's prayers in a spectacular way and by next day 185,000 enemy soldiers lay dead on the ground and the foreign king went home to be murdered by his own sons. It doesn't pay to defy the Living God! GOD HAD MADE THE DIFFERENCE!!
God makes a difference for us because we're trusting in the blood of Jesus shed for us at the cross. Our eyes are on Him.
His offer of protection and salvation though is open to every single person. All they have to do is believe Jesus is the only way to God, that He died to take away their sin and bring them back to God. God will make the difference for anyone who comes to Him.
Thank you Lord we are not vulnerable to enemy attacks when our eyes are on You and we're trusting You for our protection and provision today.
