The daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
Isaiah 37:22
"Reassured by the Word of the Lord,
the poor trembling citizens of Zion
grew bold,
and shook their heads at Sennacherib's boastful threats.
Strong faith enables the servants of God to look with calm contempt upon
their most haughty foes. We know that our enemies are attempting
impossibilities.
They seek to destroy the eternal life,
which cannot die
while Jesus lives;
We know their weakness.
What are they but men?
And what is man but
a worm?
They roar and swell like waves of the sea, foaming out their
own shame."
Charles Spurgeon
