“Go and tell Hazekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.”’ Isaiah 38:5
When King Hezekiah was sick to the point of death, the prophet Isaiah, who spoke for God, said to him, “Put your house in order, for you will surely die.”
He didn’t say he might die or that it didn’t look good.
So what do you do when God says no?
Rather than give up, Hezekiah started weeping and praying and asking God for mercy.
God told Isaiah to go back and tell Hezekiah, “I’ve heard your prayer and seen your tears, and I will add fifteen years to your life.”
Even when we feel as though God has said no, if we dare do as Hezekiah and ask God for a yes, God can reverse a no.
Every circumstance may say, “Forget it. God said no. Just live with it.”
Hezekiah’s attitude was, “God, I’m asking in Your great mercy to change Your mind and give me a yes.”
Are you bold enough to ask for a yes, even though all you keep getting is a no?
