Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the lord. 6I will add fifteen years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own honor and for the sake of my servant David.’”
The shadow always moves forward,” Hezekiah replied, “so that would be easy. Make it go ten steps backward instead.”
. You tore your clothing in despair and wept before me in repentance. And I have indeed heard you, says the lord. 20So I will not send the promised disaster until after you have died and been buried in peace.
The Lord God is merciful and will show mercy if we sincerely go to him. I must not run away from doing what is rite. I love this statement it’s not turn from evil but not running away from rite. God’s perspective.
Lord God,
place a path before me where it only leads to doing what is rite, Keep me from running away from doing what is rite.
In Jesus name,
Amen
