Isaiah 37:31-32 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:… We may learn — 1. Not to entertain mean thoughts of our Lord, because there are but few sincere Christians. 2. To value the true religion and the professors of it. 3. God's zeal for His children in working such marvellous deliverances for them, though they are so few in number. 4. Let us own our dependence upon God, and regard Him as our only defence and salvation in time of trouble, seeking to Him, as Hezekiah did here, by devout prayers and supplications, and craving the assistance of His Church and ministry, as this king did of the prophet Isaiah, to obtain of Him an answer of peace and love.
