| Correspondence |
| “And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord” (2 Kings 19:14). |
| This was the wisest thing Hezekiah could have done. He had received a threatening letter from a mighty king. In 2 Chronicles 32:17 we read that this king, Sennacherib, “wrote also letters to rail on the Lord God of Israel.” |
| Here we have a picture of Hezekiah asking God to read his correspondence and help him reply. How often have we been at a loss to know how to answer a letter, an email or any other form of correspondence? Surely here in this incident we are encouraged to bring everything to God in prayer. |
| If you read the whole story in 2 Kings 19 you will see how God took the whole matter into His own hands, and sent Isaiah the prophet with a most reassuring answer. |
| Perhaps today you are saying, “I don’t know the answer to this correspondence.” Show it to the Lord, and ask Him to help you. |
