31:11-32:33
Seek God and serve God. This is what King Hezekiah did – ‘he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God,… seeking his God… with all his heart’(31:20-21). Seek God and serve God. This is what we must do. God was good to Hezekiah – ‘the Lord saved Hezekiah…’(32:22). God is good to us. He saves us. To ‘all the ends of the earth’, He says, ‘Turn to Me and be saved’(Isaiah 45:22). He calls us to come to Him through Jesus Christ, ‘the Saviour of the world’(John 4:42). It is so easy to forget the Lord. Hezekiah was delivered from death yet he did not thank the Lord (32:24-25). We may forget the Lord, but He does not forget us. He waits for us to return to Him and receive His forgiveness – ‘the Lord is merciful and gracious… He does not deal with us according to our sins…’(32:26; Psalm 108:8-13).
