08-27-2013 – Hezekiah’s despair of life.  I love this story. I have read it many times. Lets look at the passage from Isaiah 38.“In those days was Hezekiah sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’” 2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3and said, “Remember now,  Lord, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying, 5“Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.”
