Why does God save us when we are in trouble? Isaiah 34-39

Why does God deliver us?  There are so many times that the peoples of God cry out to God for deliverance.  Imagine you and I were in heaven and had a chance to hear the cries of the faithful saints that come up to God.   What would we hear?  What would it sound like?   While I was writing these five sentences I heard the "swoosh" sound come across my iPad.   It is there to alert me to the fact that I have new email messages.   I heard three "swoosh" sounds as those five sentences were composed.   There goes another one, now.   But, imagine you were in heaven and it was the cries for help from the Saints and God had a "swoosh" sound that was saying, "YOU've got cries for help!"   I would think it would be just one giant SWOOSH that was heard across the heavens.   We cry continually out to our God.  And, we should!   But, why does He hear the "swoosh" and why does He save us?   Because, He thinks we deserve it?  Most people don't think they deserve bad in their life which must mean they think they deserve the good God will provide when He rescues us.   However, we don't deserve good and if received what we did deserve it would be for our ruin.   Then why does God save us?  When King Hezekiah was being attacked by a large army he cried out to God.  Here is what he gives us as an answer to our question: 

Isaiah 37:20

Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, Lord, are God.”

We must come to the realization that God saves us so that HE WILL BE HONORED, not that we will be or should be.   God is to be glorified.  In this particular story the nations of Assyria and Babylon had thought they were the big and bad and tough guys of the day.   They were evil, wicked men who deserved hell but demanded honor.   God was about to put them both in their place so that God would be honored.   God saves us to receive praise.   Man thanks he "chooses" God to show how smart, or sensitive or trendy he is.   But, in reality, God saves us out of His grace and deserves all the glory and honor for it.   The next time you want to take credit for your own salvation remember Isaiah 37:20.   God wants the glory and deserves it.
