His Hands Been Offered so For Your Sake HOLD ON

II Kings 19-21

Finally a good leader comes to power; he fathers a wretch of an heir; the laws of astrophysics are suspended and a great truth is once again affirmed.  Let’s focus on the great truth.  God sees and hears us and the great truth is that God also offers us His hand in loving relationship.  In this relationship there is no power in the universe that can break it.

Here is the joyful reaffirmation of this passage.  In partnership with God nothing should surprise us; we can live longer, heal our land or suspend the laws of astrophysics.  But hear this: just because we “can do”, doesn’t mean we will do.  God is still God and we must learn to trust HIM, not what He does.  The key is believing this:  “and we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God…” Romans 8:28a

The truth of life for Hezekiah and for us is that often all we have to cling to is God.
