Oh on you never let go…

 Oh no you never let go….

Oh no you never let go…

I awoke to this song repeating and repeating itself in my mind and heart this morning…”never let go…” “through the calm and through the storm….”

And then reading about  King Hezekiah…2 Kings 19…his laying his threatening letter before the Lord…

“ And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord: “Lord, the God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Give ear, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see; listen to the words Sennacherib has sent to ridicule the living God. “It is true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste these nations and their lands. They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands. 

Now, Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone, Lord, are God.” 

That night the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies!

2Kgs.19.15,-19,35

He worshipped God…he told of his might, his creation…his eyes to see, ears to hear…then prayed for deliverance…and finished with God’s reputation, his power…and who His is…

Hezekiah was going through the storm of the song…knowing that God never let go and Hezehiah didn’t want to let go of God either..

It seems like every time, I am going through a crisis, I remembered this picture of Hezekiah laying out his letter before the Lord…” here is what is happening, Lord…help me…you are the only one I can go to with confidence…You know the beginning from the end…You know my thoughts, my heart…you know the words even before I speak them, You alone are the God of the universe…”

And I had to do it again yesterday, as the cancer doctor said my cancer has returned….and I start treatments in two weeks again…to what end? …only God has that answer…

  Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.“

The Lord will guide you always;he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.You will be like a well-watered garden,like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isa.58.9a,Isa.58.11

Thank YOU…
