“Light In The Dark” By Kirk Hunt
In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’” Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord
Isaiah 38:1-2 NKJV
Sometimes, the news lacks any light or lightness. Verse 3 records that Hezekiah wept bitterly because of Isaiah’s message. In too many cases, despite our unending hope in God, the facts and data have only one (grim) conclusion. Christian men and women also face dark nights and gray days.
No matter how hopeless the news, we can always have a hopeful response. God is always happy to spend time with us, tears and all. His light shines through the darkest shadows.
King Hezekiah turned to the wall. He turned away from the doctors, the attendants, and even the prophet. He faced the wall so that he could talk unhindered, and undistracted, with God.
Hezekiah had one message from God, but he wanted a different outcome. He went to God in prayer. Despite the dark news, Hezekiah had hope in God’s power and grace.
Your news may lack any light. Don’t let that shake your hope and confidence in God. He is there, at your side. No matter how dark it seems.
If He won’t carry you over, He will carry you through. Spend time with Him. He is your hope, and light, despite the news.
Think: God, and His light, is always there for you.
Pray: God, here are my burdens. I cannot, but You can.
