Morning Light - Isaiah 38

Today: [Isaiah 38] When the Prophet Says You are Going to Die! In this chapter we find one of the most dreadful declaration sone could ever hear from the mouth of a prophet. Hezekiah is informed by the prophet Isaiah to get his affairs in order – he is going to die. Have you ever been told such a thing by a man or woman of God? Sometimes self-appointed people make such shrill accusations and we have no reason to fear them. This was not the case with Isaiah and Hezekiah. This was a word from heaven and it was dire in its prediction. What would you do in such a case? Resign yourself to your fate? Hezekiah demonstrates for us the response to such dreadful a word that literally changes the outcome and brings life from death when we are bold enough like the king to turn our faces to the wall and cry out to God.
