I was particularly touched today reading about Hezekiah's sickness and his recovery. Isaiah went to visit Hezekiah and told him it was time. Time that his death was going to happen. Hezekiah heard the words and began to pray to God, when he broke down and began to weep.
God heard his prayers. Isaiah had not gotten out of the courtyard when the LORD spoke to him and told him to go tell Hezekiah that He heard his prayers and saw his tears! He answered Hezekiah's pray and was going to be healed and given 15 more years to his life!
Talk about answering prayers, but what touched me is the realization that God hears and sees us ~ we know it, but we like to be reminded of it! When I was reading this passage this morning from 2 King 20, I was reminded of Revelation 7:17 where we are told that God will wipe away every tear when we are in heaven and there will be no more tears! Our Mighty Savior will wipe away our tears imagine it for a moment...The Creator of All will take His mighty Hand and with His finger wipe away our tear. Imagine, the joy felt knowing that God will welcome us with wiping away all sadness, all bad stuff and only joyful praises will be heard and the colors will be so beautiful. Beyond our comprehension, but oh so wonderful to ponder!
Thank you God for reminding me this morning that indeed you do hear and see us always! It is my prayer that I open my heart to hear and see your desires for my journey and that I don't close my senses, because it wasn't what I had in mind! After all, your ways are so much better than my ways and I know this in my soul!
Sweet blessings,
Debbie
