Heard Your Prayer

I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears.

“Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the leader of my people, Thus says the Lord , the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord ,

2 Kings 20:5 ESV

“Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the leader of my people, Thus says the Lord , the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord , 2 Kings 20:5 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/2ki.20.5.ESV

All the glory, praises and honor be to the Holy Father in Jesus’ precious name !

The subject verse is God’s word of deliverance to king Hezekiah. Unlike every man, He too fell ill and was at the point of death. Indeed He was at the mercy of Living God. Therefore he turned to God as soon as he received the word from prophet Isaiah. Yes, he did not look for medication or the doctors, but for the Almighty God. For his hope and trust is in God. The Bible says that he turned towards the wall and prayed to the Lord our God. More over, he wept so bitterly in his prayer that the Lord answered him immediately. Truly, as the subject verse says, God ordered the prophet to turn back and deliver His message of healing to the king.

How great is our Almighty God ! The Bible says that God is great in kindness and rich in mercies and He shall not abandon His children. Those who put their hope and trust in Him, shall never fail. Just like how He showed His great mercy and compassion for the king, he shall show the same to all who seek Him. As the following verse says, He is gracious and merciful God.

But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.

Nehemiah 9:31 NIV

Brethren, if we too are in similar situation like king Hezekiah, remember that we have the Omnipotent God on our side. No sicknesses, diseases, viruses are greater than the Living God. Behold, I will heal you, says the Lord. Therefore, repent of your sins, transgressions, abominations, iniquities. The scriptures says that we are healed by the stripes that He received on the way to cross. So, give your heart and soul to Jesus, who gave Himself for our sake. Most importantly, make Jesus the Lord of your life. Walk in His path and lead others too.

In Jesus matchless name. Amen.
