The Sun Returned Ten Degrees (Isaiah 38:1-22)

Hezekiah is reprieved from his illness and imminent death but the lesson for us today is not simply that he lived a further fifteen years. We see in the king’s prayer how he traced his blessing to God’s covenant grace, God’s love and forgiveness and trusted God for everlasting spiritual life as well as his extra years in this world. Hezekiah was a believer who proved the Lord to be faithful in all His ways.
