Last Years of Hezekiah's Reign

So here we have a man who about ready to die and he prays for an extent ion of his life. God see that Hezekiah is a good and righteous man so he extends his life by 15 years. But he starts to show some pride in his heart and God gets a bit upset with him after he has given him such a gift. But he apologises and God forgives. Then Isaiah tells Hezekiah that Babylon will take over. So Hezekiah builds up his city, the walls, armor etc to protect his city and fortunes.

Later the field commander from the king of Assyria comes and makes a proclamation to the people saying basically that it is impossible for them to be saved wither by force from the help of Egypt or by their God. He goes on to say that this God has not saved other countries so why should they listened to Hezekiah's God now. He will not save them. They should join forces with the king of Assyria. Well, in short Hezekiah prays and prays and eventually God bring upon the king and his troop a death so that when they wake up in the morning there were thousands dead. He ended up dealing with his tail between his legs in disgrace. This allow for the Lord to be exalted by many people and many lands. I am sure that was His plan all along!!! :)

So what does this all mean??? I think it means two main things. Our worship to God and how we worship Him makes all the difference in the world. Especially if we come to him wholeheartedly! It also means that God will give us back what we give Him in honor. He loves us and wants us to be with Him forever and all we have to do is give Him the Honor and Respect He deserves!
