The sun went back ten steps as a testimony to Hezekiah from God that he would recover and live for fifteen more years. Hezekiah was at the point of death. Yet, he recovered at the hand of the LORD by means of a poultice of figs as was directed by Isaiah.
As Hezekiah faced his death, he humbled himself before the LORD and was healed. After he was healed, he gave thanks to the LORD for through the illness he has learned to walk humbly before God all the days of his life.
Good sometimes comes out of bad things or things that we sometimes perceive as bad. God can and does turn bad thing into good for those who love Him.
That is really what all this journeying in the Kingdom of God is all about - walking with God - in His Kingdom - even as we pray on earth as is in heaven. It is about our relationship with God and a good start is to know that He is God - a God that loves us and wants us in relationship with Him. It is about relationship with one another and that relationship works best when we are first in relationship with God. He is with you always and hears your prayers and answers according to His will.
A little side tracked this morning - it is only 4 a.m.. I don't want you to miss out on that little scientific miracle in today's chapter either: the sun going back ten steps.... How did that happen? Simple explanation: God is God, creator of the sun and moon and all that is.
God's Peace - Pr. J
