[Discoveries] 11-14-07 A new answer -- Isaiah 38:1,5

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"... you will not recover ... I will add fifteen years to your life." 
-- Isaiah 38:1,5*/

King Hezekiah became ill. The prophet informed him that this was it, he 
wasn't going to recover. Soon he would be dead. But Hezekiah wept and 
prayed, and the Lord healed him and added years to his life.

I'm glad this story is here. For one thing, it makes me feel a little 
better about all the times I say "no" to my children, and then listen to 
their appeals and change my mind and say "yes." But more than that, it 
shows me that God is not so remote, so unyielding. He enters into our 
world, hears our prayers, and will even change plans in response to our 
cries.

I like that. I know that I can't get God to do anything He doesn't want 
to do. I can't manipulate Him. Nobody can. But He does hear the cries of 
our heart, He does care, and He may -- just maybe -- change His answer.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
