Isaiah 38:1-8 Turn back Time


"See, I will make the shadow cast by the sun on the stairway to the terrace of Ahaz go back the ten steps it has advanced. So the sun came back the ten steps it had advanced. Hezekiah's Hymn of Thanksgiving."  ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭38:8‬

Isaiah 38:1-8  Turn back Time.  How would you respond if you were told your death was near?  King Hezekiah prayed to God but did not plea for his life, he reminded God of their covenant relationship.  ""Ah, LORD, remember how faithfully and wholeheartedly I conducted myself in your presence, doing what was good in your sight!" And Hezekiah wept bitterly."  ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭38:3‬  God loves those who love Him.  It is our covenant relationship that turns back time, when we listen and respond to God with our lives, this is what prolongs our life.  "My son, do not forget my teaching, take to heart my commands; For many days, and years of life, and peace, will they bring you."  ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:1-2‬  We can easily forget the importance of loving God in our lives with prayer in action.  Hezekiah wasn't fearful, he wasn't worried because he knew God and loved him with his life.  It is never too late to begin, to sit and listen to God.  I guarantee life will come at you but it is not to be feared when you and God are one.  He wants what you want when you live together as one.  "Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span?"  ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:27‬  God isn't worried why should you be, trust in Him!

What is God saying to me:  Covenant union is special, I Am always present, are you?

Dear Father, You call us to live holy lives, to share our joy and peace in our daily actions.  To always do Your will, not to prolong our lives but to give back what we have been given.  I thank You Father for the peace that You give when we trust in You.  Prayers for families seeking to add years to relationships, grant their prayers Lord, help them see the Joy of living with You and not blind to You.  Watch over us this day, keep us safe, may we never forget to give thanks for all the blessings that are available to us.  In Jesus name, Amen.  

Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Chaste, Pray for us.  




Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.  1 John 4:4b
