Another life on earth


Isa 38:1 In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: Set your house in order, for you shall die, you shall not recover."
Isa 38:2 Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,
Isa 38:3 and said, "Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before you in faithfulness and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Isa 38:4 Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah:
Isa 38:5 "Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.
Isa 38:6 I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and will defend this city.
Isa 38:7 "This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has promised:
Isa 38:8 Behold, I will make the shadow cast by the declining sun on the dial of Ahaz turn back ten steps." So the sun turned back on the dial the ten steps by which it had declined.
Isa 38:9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, after he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:
Isa 38:10 I said, In the middle of my days I must depart; I am consigned to the gates of Sheol for the rest of my years.
Isa 38:11 I said, I shall not see the LORD, the LORD in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
Isa 38:12 My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me like a shepherd's tent; like a weaver I have rolled up my life; he cuts me off from the loom; from day to night you bring me to an end;
Isa 38:13 I calmed myself until morning; like a lion he breaks all my bones; from day to night you bring me to an end.
Isa 38:14 Like a swallow or a crane I chirp; I moan like a dove. My eyes are weary with looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my pledge of safety!
Isa 38:15 What shall I say? For he has spoken to me, and he himself has done it. I walk slowly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
Isa 38:16 O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these is the life of my spirit. Oh restore me to health and make me live!
Isa 38:17 Behold, it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness; but in love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
Isa 38:18 For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down to the pit do not hope for your faithfulness.
Isa 38:19 The living, the living, he thanks you, as I do this day; the father makes known to the children your faithfulness.
Isa 38:20 The LORD will save me, and we will play my music on stringed instruments all the days of our lives, at the house of the LORD.
Isa 38:21 Now Isaiah had said, "Let them take a cake of figs and apply it to the boil, that he may recover."
Isa 38:22 Hezekiah also had said, "What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?"

Father I thank you once more for another life here on earth that you have given me. Thank you Father for this privelege that I can pray, worship, praise and thank you for all the wonderful things that you have given me. Thank you Father for giving me a good healthy body and thank you for giving me this desire that I can praise and thank you. Lord I commit to you everything this day and the rest of my life. Take control of it and help me to be more intimate with you day by day. Everything what I have comes from you and and I humble myself before your throne this day I owe nothing in this world . Oh Father, thank you for chosing me as your adopted child, that while yet I am a sinner, You sent your only Son Jesus to die for my sins. Now I was made righteous to your sight justified by my faith in Jesus. The righteousness of Jesus was imputed to me and His holiness and that is the only reason why I can come to your holiest throne because of Jesus. How wonderful to medidate these things that makes me praise and worship you this day! Help me that I may grow in faith and be transformed into Christlikeness for the rest of my life and I pray this in the Precious and Mighty name of Your SON JESUS CHRIST, THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAME,AMEN!!
