Isaiah 38 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO

The Lord will save me, and we will play my music on stringed instruments all the days of our lives, at the house of the Lord. Isaiah 38:20 – We are presented in scripture a unique story where King Hezekiah, during the Assyrian invasion, is told by the Lord that he would die due to a sickness that he was battling. After prayer and requesting of the Lord for healing, God prolonged Hezekiah’s life by fifteen years. What caught my eye as I was reading verse 20 was the confidence in Hezekiah. The Lord “will” save me. He knew that the Lord would do what He said, and He knew that this healing would take place because the Lord had spoken. That though wasn’t the only “will” statement found in the verse. He goes on and says and we “will” play for the Lord all the days of our lives. Hezekiah, unlike anyone else on earth, actually knew how long he had to live. 15 years, 5475 day. Do you know what Hezekiah’s plans were for each of those 5475 days? To play music for the Lord at His house. He knew God would save him and he knew he would praise Him. For us we know that God saves us. We know what He has done and we know what He will do, and we have firm confidence in that. Yet is there a firm confidence in what WE will do all the days of our life? Will we worship Him all the days of our life? Will we serve Him all the days of our life? God is showing us a steady faithfulness to us for all the days of our life on earth and beyond, what are we committing to be steady in for Him all the days of our life and beyond? I love you, but Jesus loves you more - Mac

Question To Ponder: What is something scripture teaches us God will provide every day of our life?
