“Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it; and Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord and spread it before the Lord.”

  2 Kings 19:14

  Beloved, we have recently observed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year, a season marked by the exchange of greetings, celebrations, and well-wishes. While it is uplifting to receive such messages, not every card, email, text, or spoken word in life brings encouragement.

  Hezekiah received a message from Sennacherib, king of Assyria, that Jerusalem would be destroyed. Hezekiah took this letter, brought it into the house of God, and laid it before the Lord. When we receive difficult news or face hardship and temptations, let us lay ourselves and our burdens before the Lord.

  Present your needs before God and express to Him clearly what troubles you or threatens your well-being. God remains with you and will not abandon you. Just as Hezekiah trusted that his help would come from God, let us also call out to God, for He will answer.

In Christ Alone.
