The business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon. If we are left but for a moment, to prove us, alas! all is failure again. What a danger, even in much blessing and prosperity! “Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things” (
Isa. 39:2
2
And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not. (Isaiah 39:2)
). “Mine house”; “My treasures” (
Isa. 39:4
4
Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them. (Isaiah 39:4)
). Yes, if left to ourselves, it will be, “our precious truth,” “our testimony,” “our table,” “our treasures.” Rich, and increased in goods, and have need of nothing. There is only a step from Laodicea to Babylon. We cannot praise our God and Father too much for the precious truth He gives — for the treasures of His word — for the restored table of the Lord. But are these treasures to be boastingly shown as
ours
to the princes of Babylon? If Hezekiah humbled himself, surely we ought to take the lowest place; nay, not take it — it is ours. The Lord keep us near Himself, in lowly dependence, and enjoying the discernment of the Holy Spirit. Thus may He enable us to do that which is right in the sight of the Lord, in the midst of all that is wrong.
