July 28, Day 209

Today's Reading

Three days ago we read about Hezekiah's plea to God for Jerusalem as told by Isaiah.  That was followed by many more chapters of things God was speaking to Isaiah during that painful season.  What Isaiah received during the era was indicative of God's use of stressful situations to call us to focus on Him.

Today we get the account of Hezekiah's plea as told by the historians in 2 Kings.  I am in awe of the connection of God's deliverance from Sennacherib (2 Kings 19) and the opening stanza of Psalm 19: "God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in times of trouble."  Wow!
