Isaiah – Week 7

What do we do with seemingly impossible, extremely stressful circumstances? Maybe a bill we can't pay, or illness that is dire. Even though Hezekiah was a good king, reestablishing the temple worship, he was put in a very desperate situation when he received a letter from Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. He was next on the list for destruction and torture (Isaiah 36:1-22). His response is opposite of his father Ahab (who did not go to the Lord, but depended on alliances with other nations. Hezekiah goes to God in the temple and puts the letter in His hands (Isaiah 37:1-20). And God delivers! (Isaiah 37:33-38). You can transfer your burdens to Jesus (Psalm 55:22) just as Hezekiah did, except you do not need a temple of stone - you are that temple (Philippians 4:6-7). Invite God into the experience of your life - all of it. Liferoads Church Spokane
