It’s raining today, what
a good backdrop for the first reading from Isaiah 38 that talks about the
sickness and recovery of King Hezekiah, he was told that he is about to die. He
turns to prayer and begs the Lord in tears. The Lord heard him and said, “I
have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you...” Isaiah 38:5
This part of the story
of Hezekiah teaches us not to be ashamed to beg the Lord, even in tears. There
is hope even in the seemingly hopeless situation. The Lord hears our cries and
understands our sufferings. He loves us and desires nothing but goodness for
us. He heals!
Jesus, I trust in You.
Amen.
