Isaiah 36:4–5 “And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest? I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?”
Rabshakeh, the mouthpiece of a mighty empire, stood before Jerusalem and asked a question that has never gone silent: “On whom dost thou trust?” With arrogance and intimidation, he tried to dismantle the hope of God’s people by challenging the very foundation of their faith. His words were calculated to instill fear, to make trust in God look like a foolish gamble. But his voice, though ancient, still whispers in our own battles today.
This is the question every believer must answer—especially when the odds seem overwhelming. Who do you trust when the enemy is at the gate? When the threats are loud, and the future is uncertain? Our answer must be what Hezekiah would soon demonstrate: we trust in the Lord our God. Not in numbers. Not in alliances. Not in our own strength. But in the God who is able. Fear will ask the question, but faith will give the answer. And that answer is found at the throne of grace.
