Life Lessons from King Hezekiah | Daryl Black

Описание: 2 Kings 18: 3-8 ESV
3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.4 He removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah. 5 He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel, so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him. 6 For he held fast to the Lord. He did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses. 7 And the Lord was with him; wherever he went out, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and would not serve him. 8 He struck down the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.

Devotion to God shapes your destiny.

Psalm 1:1-3 ESV
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

2 Kings 20:1 ESV
In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die; you shall not recover.’”

2 Kings 20:2 ESV
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord.

Prayer is our first response, not our last resort.

“Nothing is well done without prayer for the simple reason that it leaves God out of the account.”― E.M. Bounds, The Weapon of Prayer

2 Kings 20:3 ESV
“Now, O Lord, please remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

2 Kings 20:4-6 ESV
4 And before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him: 5 “Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the leader of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord, 6 and 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 I will defend this city for my own sake and for my servant David's sake.”

God's sovereignty brings peace in uncertainty.

Jeremiah 32:27 KJV
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Psalm 46:1 KJV
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
