King Hezekiah became deathly ill (Isa. 38:1-8). The prophet Isaiah gave King Hezekiah a message from God that his life was over. King Hezekiah prayed to God and God spared his life. He saw that his illness allowed him to find God’s deliverance (38:10-22). He praised God by writing a poem about his experience. King Hezekiah’s suffering was for good because it made him realize he needed God.
No situation is so hopeless that it is beyond God’s help. God is merciful. When we admit our weaknesses, God responds.
