So That All May Know

Date: January 15, 2026

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 37:20

“Now, Lord our God, save us from his power so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Lord, are God ,  — you alone. ”

In the face of overwhelming threat, King Hezekiah turns to God in prayer. His request is simple but profound. He asks for deliverance not merely for safety or relief, but so that the nations would know who the true God is. His prayer reveals a heart aligned with God’s purpose rather than self-preservation.

This verse reminds us that God’s power is often displayed most clearly when situations feel beyond our control. Hezekiah does not rely on military strength or political alliances. He places the outcome fully in God’s hands, trusting that whatever God does will ultimately reveal His glory. Deliverance, in this moment, is about testimony as much as rescue.

Isaiah 37 shows us that God responds to prayers rooted in humility and faith. When God acts, it is never only for the benefit of one person or one moment. His works point outward. They declare His sovereignty, His faithfulness, and His unmatched authority over every false power and competing voice.

As we move through this season, this verse invites us to examine our own prayers. Are we seeking God only for relief, or for His glory to be made known? When our desires align with His purpose, our lives become living testimonies of who He is.

Main Takeaways

  • True prayer seeks God’s glory, not just personal relief.
