You Are Not Stuck
Isaiah the prophet called to the LORD, and He made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairs of Ahaz.
– 2 Kings 20:11
As mentioned previously, repent means to turn. You are not stuck in your circumstances. You can turn to God and receive deliverance.
There is a divinely ordained moment in time, destined by God to change everything in your life. For Hezekiah, it came when Isaiah delivered the message of his impending death.
Hezekiah could have thrown up his hands and accepted his fate. Instead, he turned his face toward the wall and prayed. God heard Hezekiah’s prayers and added fifteen years to his life. God has everything under control, even time. As a sign to Hezekiah, God made the sun stand still and changed time forever.
It was not God’s best for Hezekiah to die. He had more for him to do. In the next fifteen years, he delivered Jerusalem from evil King Sennacherib; and, he had a son through whom would continue the lineage of the Messiah.
You are the God who steps into my present and changes my future forever for your glory.
