Today we are reading Isaiah 38. In this chapter we read about Hezekiah’s sickness and impending death. Hezekiah prays for mercy and God responds to his prayer.“”Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and will defend this city. “This shall be the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he has promised: Behold, I will make the shadow cast by the declining sun on the dial of Ahaz turn back ten steps.” So the sun turned back on the dial the ten steps by which it had declined.”
Isaiah 38:5-8 ESV Hezekiah had a serious life-threatening illness. It seems to coincide with the stressful time of being under attack from Assyria. Have you ever been become sick while going through a stressful experience? God heals Hezekiah and extends his life by 15 years. How has God healed you? May the days of your life be many and filled with peace! Pastor Tim
