📖 "In those days King Hezekiah of Judah became ill and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said, Thus says the Lord: Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live. Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord And said, Remember [earnestly] now, O Lord, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in faithfulness and in truth, with a whole heart [absolutely devoted to You], and have done what is good in Your sight. And Hezekiah wept bitterly. Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 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 [a]add to your life fifteen years.” -Isaiah 38:1-5 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
It wasn’t the will of God for Hezekiah to die prematurely. If it was the will of God for Hezekiah to die, He would have told Hezekiah that it was His will for Him to die, and there would have been nothing he could do to stop it. Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and sought the Lord. He reminded God of his faithfulness and devotion to Him and reminded Him that He had done what was right in His sight. This caused God to intervene in Hezekiah’s situation, and He added fifteen more years to His life. God also healed what would have caused Hezekiah to die prematurely. When we receive a bad report, we don’t have to receive it. We can go to God, receive His wisdom or simply stand on His Word, and change that negative report. God is on our side. God is never our problem; He is always our answer. No matter what we face in life, God can turn it around.
