Today's reading comes to us from 2 Kings Chapter 19 and 20:1-11 and Isaiah Chapter 37 and 38:1-20. Today we will read about King Hezekiah of Judah praying to God and asking Him to defend His holy name against the insults of the king of Assyria. We will hear about God's answer, that because King Hezekiah prayed to God, God will send the rude and lying king back to his own country and that He will defend His people. God then sent His Angel (Jesus!) to kill 185,000 army men of Assyria! God is so awesome!!! We will then see King Hezekiah facing terminal illness and Isaiah telling him that God has said Hezekiah will die. We will see King Hezekiah pray to God, asking God to remember that he has always tried to do what is right. God answered Hezekiah's prayer and sent Isaiah back to Hezekiah to deliver the message as well as a sign- God would turn back the clock by 10 hours, at Hezekiah's choice. We will see Hezekiah giving glory to God for healing him and in his wisdom giving glory to God for allowing him to go through the experience, since going through the trouble was for Hezekiah's benefit! In our discussion for daily application we will talk about God letting us go through our own troubles for our own benefit, as well, and that God wants us to come to Him to ask Him for His help. It was because Hezekiah prayed that God granted his requests. We need to be sure and take EVERYTHING to the Lord in prayer and look at the troubles we are going through with a positive eye, acknowledging that God is going to work good into everything, even though it looks bad. Our God is so loving, gracious, kind, and giving. He wants us to come to Him. How many times have we missed out on God answering a prayer because we simply did pray? Let's bring everything to God! He WANTS us to!
