2 Kings 19:1

 2 Kings 19:1 says, And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.  Hezekiah had a great concern about the dishonor done to God by Rabshakeh's blasphemy and torn his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth.  We as Christians often seem to be unconcerned when people blaspheme God today instead of becoming distressed by this.  We should never allow this to happen without letting the world know that it is wrong, though.  Verse two adds, And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.  Hezekiah sent Eliakim and Shebna the scribe, who had heard Rabshakeh's speech, and the elders of the priests to Isaiah seeking help form God.  It really doesn't say that he repented and asked God for forgiveness, though.  We may send others to inquire about God when we are in a bad situation, but we must put our faith in God by coming to Jesus Christ personally by faith if we want to be saved from our sins and the death that they bring.  No one else can do this for us.  Verse three continues, And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.  Eliakim and the others carried Hezekiah's message to Isaiah.  We should always seek out Christians to pray with us in times of distress, but we are all equally capable of praying to God to ask for His guidance and help.  Verse four states, It may be the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.  They were to ask Isaiah to lift up the remnant of God's people in prayer, even though they had not been acting like His people.  It was also stated that in case God had heard what Rabshakeh had said, and we should never doubt that God knows whenever anyone is speaking blasphemy against Him.  Verse five adds, So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.  These servants of Hezekiah came to Isaiah as he had asked them to do.  Still, we are not told that Hezekiah was looking to obey God, but it seems he was more interested in what God could do for him.  We can never be successful in our relationship with God if we are only coming to Him looking for what He ca do for us materially.  Verse six continues, And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.  Isaiah said that they were not to be afraid of what the servants of the king of Assyria had said in blasphemy to God.  When people today proclaim God to be anyone other than Who He is, we as Christians have no need to fear them, but we must simply remain faithful to Him.  Verse seven concludes, Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.  God said that he would send a blast on the king of Assyria and a rumor that would cause him to return home where he would die by his own sword.  No matter how big the threat today, we never need to be afraid if we put our faith in Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and Lord
