This picture of Hezekiah going to God with his problems is cemented in my heart. 2 Kings 19:14. I'll go looking for Hezekiah in heaven to tell him just how much his story of spreading his problems before God's Eyes meant to me over my lifetime. I've smoothed out sheets and asked God to sit in the hospital bed next to me. I've smoothed out paper and invited Him to write a different script. I've smoothed out sin-sick souls and sat next to them and wept. Whatever we face, spread it before the One Who is the Author of all. Isaiah 37:14 - 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. And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: “O Lord of hosts, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear; open your eyes, O Lord, and see..."
Spreading before the LORD what concerns us this very day. Oh God, incline your ear.
Romans 5:3-5 Rejoice in Suffering...How do you do that?
And God moves...
Endurance
Character
Hope
Love poured into our hearts.
