“Finally Seeking the LORD? Better Late than Never” (Isaiah 37:1-13) - Daily Manna - 01/20/26

What do you do when all your plans fail?


In Isaiah 37, Judah is out of options. Egypt was supposed to help—but the horses never came. Compromise with the enemy didn’t work. Fear took over. And only then – when everything collapsed – did the king finally walk into the House of the LORD.


This teaching walks through a sobering but hope-filled moment:

when panic-driven plans give way to humility, repentance, and finally… trust.

📖 Why do we wait until the last moment to seek God?

📖 How fear pushes us toward compromise instead of prayer

📖 What real repentance looks like (without optics or excuses)

📖 Why the end of human strength is often where God’s power begins


If you’ve ever tried to “fix it” before seeking the LORD—this message is for you.

Better late than never.


“By repentance and rest you are saved, in quietness and trust is your strength.” (Isa. 30:15)
