Good Morning. In Micah 5:6 we see the Lord making a promise to His people that He will protect them from their enemies. The same way that God protected the children of Israel from the Assyrian it’s the same way that He will protect us from our enemies. The word of the Lord said, “And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.” Matthew Henry in his commentary on this verse said, “He shall secure the peace and welfare of his church and people against all the attempts of his and their enemies. This man, as king and ruler, shall be the peace when the Assyrians shall come into our land. This refers to the deliverance of Hezekiah and his kingdom from the power of Sennacherib, who invaded them, in the type; but, under the shadow of that, it is a promise of the safety of the gospel-church and of all believers from the designs and attempts of the powers of darkness, Satan and all his instruments, the dragon and his angels, that seek to devour the church of the first-born and all that belong to it. Christ is our peace as a priest, making atonement for sin, and reconciling us to God; and he is our peace as a king, conquering our enemies and commanding down disquieting fears and passions; he creates the fruit of the lips, peace. In me, says Christ, you shall have peace, when in the world you have tribulation; at such a time our souls may dwell at ease in him.” I pray that we will continue to depend on the Lord to protect us from the wiles of the devil and to be our source of peace in the midst of the storm. He is our peace - https://youtube/watch?v=hrdo7e9JJTY Have a blessed and Holy Spirit-filled day.
