2 Kings 20-22

What God said to me – Remember what I said to Hezekiah – “I have heard your prayer and I have seen your tears”.  I know you don’t always believe it when you pray and pray about something and it seems no answer is ever coming, but I always hear your prayer. I know your hurts and your broken heart.  You must remember My timing is perfect and “I AM” working even when you don’t see it.  Cling to this truth and trust in Me to answer in the best way, in the best time.  Your good and My glory is the goal, but you must be diligent and faithful.  I will ultimately accomplish My purpose, but if you give up you will miss the joy that comes from experiencing answered prayer.  Be diligent and faithful.

2 Kings 18-19

What God said to me – The leaders of nations rage thinking they are in control.  They neither know Me nor know My ways.  I use them to accomplish My purposes whether for judgment or to move the world closer to My kingdom coming.  They have no idea that “I AM” using them and in their pride, they trust in themselves, but they will ultimately fail.  During these times of uncertainty and upheaval, cling to Me.  Do not depart from following Me.  Be like Hezekiah and lay everything before Me.  Seek Me and My direction.  Turn to Me for understanding and discernment.  I will open your eyes to see My hand at work.  I will give you peace in the midst of all of the turmoil and I will give you hope as you see Me at work.

2 Kings 15-17

What God said to me – People today are like the people of Samaria who the Assyrians brought in when they took Israel captive – they feared the Lord, but also served other gods.  They did not worship Me or serve Me wholeheartedly.  They gave Me a little piece of their hearts, of their time, of their devotion, but they gave the rest to idols.  How about you?  Do you give Me a little piece of your heart and keep the rest of it for the things you want to do or enjoy?  I desire a people who serve Me with their whole hearts.  In order to serve Me in this way and walk with Me, you must allow Me to fill your whole life.  Only I can make a divided heart whole and I do that as you walk with Me and listen to Me each moment.  It is not just a lifelong commitment on your part, it is a moment by moment commitment.
