Day 211 What did Hezekiah's prayer bring? Isaiah's?
Hezekiah prayed..."O Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God. Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they were destroyed. So now, O Lord our God, save us, please, from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, O Lord, are God alone.” Hezekiah later become deathly ill. Isaiah was told to pray for his healing. What happened after the prayer? Hezekiah was given 15 more years! Another image is today's reading is the remnant growing downward so they can grow upward! Love the simple thought of going down on our knees (downward) to grow upward.
