Isaiah 38:1-22
Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death, Isaiah aid to Hezekiah," you will not recover, you are going to die."
Hezekiah turned to his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, "Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with whole hearted devotion and have down what is good in your eyes." And he wept bitterly.
The Lord heard his prayer and saw his tears. The Lord adds fifteen years to Hezekiah and gave him a sign - the shadow cast by the sun go back to ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
Hezekiah wrote a poem to the Lord after his illness recovery.
Surely it was for my benefit that I sufered such anguish.
In your love you kept me from the pit of destruction; you have put all my sins behind your back.
The Lord will save me, and we will sig with stringed instrumets all the days of our lives in the temple of the Lord.
Why?
No mtter what distress or disaster happened, a man walk on the way of the Lord, when pray to the Lord, the Lord will hear and saw what he have done. The Lord loves his people and save them.
Hezekiah have devote himself to the Lord, and he wept bitterly, it turn the mind of the Lord to add him 15 years life. The Lord cares righteous man and one who walked on his way.
Surely it was for my benefit that I suffer such anguish. Walk on the way of God suffered many anguish and stress and trouble. It may not be extended the life, but it is surely that it is our benefit in earth and in the Heaven.
Under the mercy of the Lord, He give us sing to encourage our faith. What is the sign of the Lord, we will know it and it is worthy to going on. We may ask the sing from the Lord. The response is depends on God.
How?
No matter what happen, good or anguish, turn to the Lord, pray to the Lord. For He is my savior, my king, Jesus is my shepherd I am his sheep in his pasture.
