2/3 Isaiah 38:9-14
When King Hezekiah was well again, he wrote this poem about his experience: 10 I said, “In the prime of my life, must I now enter the place of the dead? Am I to be robbed of my normal years?” 11 I said, “Never again will I see the LORD GOD while still in the land of the living. Never again will I see my friends or laugh with those who live in this world. 12 My life has been blown away like a shepherd’s tent in a storm. It has been cut short, as when a weaver cuts cloth from a loom. Suddenly, my life was over. 13 I waited patiently all night, but I was torn apart as though by lions. Suddenly, my life was over. 14 Delirious, I chattered like a swallow or a crane, and then I moaned like a mourning dove. My eyes grew tired of looking to heaven for help. I am in trouble, Lord. Help me!”
HELP
Four letters that we seldom say until it is too late. Don’t let you life rock out of relationship with the Lord. Don’t get so far away that everything is destroyed before you yell for HELP. Help me Lord. Help me to pray. Help me to listen. Help me to spend time with you. Help me grow my faith. Help me Lord.

2/2 Isaiah 38:4
Then this message came to Isaiah from the LORD: 5 “Go back to Hezekiah and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will add fifteen years to your life, 6 and I will rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. Yes, I will defend this city. 7 “‘And this is the sign that the LORD will give you to prove he will do as he promised: 8 I will cause the sun’s shadow to move ten steps backward on the sundial of Ahaz!'” So the shadow on the sundial moved backward ten steps.
JESUS
Jesus will not mislead you. The Lord spoke to Isaiah and Isaiah carried the Lord’s message to Hezekiah. Hezekiah heard and believed. Listen to the Lord. Listen to what He says to you. Hear and believe and you will walk with the Lord.

2/1 Isaiah 38:1
About that time Hezekiah became deathly ill, and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to visit him. He gave the king this message: “This is what the LORD says: Set your affairs in order, for you are going to die. You will not recover from this illness.” 2 When Hezekiah heard this, he turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, 3 “Remember, O LORD, how I have always tried to be faithful to you and do what is pleasing in your sight.” Then he broke down and wept bitterly.
PRAYER
We look at our troubled situation and feel helpless. Hezekiah turned to the Lord. Turn to Jesus with your needs. Talk straight with Him because he already knows what you need. Jesus will not let you down.

1/31 John 3:36
And all who believe in God’s Son have eternal life. Those who don’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life, but the wrath of God remains upon them.”
LIFE
You and I have life because we have faith in Jesus that He will do what He says He will do. He said that He would give life to everyone that asked Him for forgiveness and believe in Him. Do not stumble over this easy access to the Father. Jesus paid with His life for us to become a part of the Family of God. Believe in Jesus. He loves you.

1/30 John 3:35
The Father loves his Son, and he has given him authority over everything.
FATHER
The Lord is not surprised at how hard life can be. He had a hard life and suffered just like we suffer and did so without sinning. When I think of my self centeredness and the willful way that I sin by doing my own thing I am humbled by how much the Lord Jesus cares for us. He is deeply loved by the Father. He can do all things and He chose to offer me and you grace. His grace means all to me. Jesus is Lord and His love changes me.

1/29 John 3:34
For he is sent by God. He speaks God’s words, for God’s Spirit is upon him without measure or limit.
JESUS
Fully God, fully man and He is totally committed to the Father. He and the Father are totally committed to us. Today this very moment the Lord is thinking about you. You can be confident that what you are doing and the struggles you are facing are important to the Lord and that He is in it together with you. Jesus loves you.

1/28 John 3:32-33
He tells what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them! 33 Those who believe him discover that God is true.
TRUE
Everything the Lord tells you is true. He knows eternity from this moment. He is intimately knowledgeable about the past from this moment into eternity. Nothing is hidden from Jesus. Let Him have control of your life.

1/27 John 3:31
“He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. I am of the earth, and my understanding is limited to the things of earth, but he has come from heaven.
CHRIST JESUS
Christ Jesus came from the Father to us. He came to save us from ourselves. We are our own worst enemy. Let Jesus change your life. Let our precious Lord equip you for the work He created you for. Serve Jesus.

1/26 John 3:29
The bride will go where the bridegroom is. A bridegroom’s friend rejoices with him. I am the bridegroom’s friend, and I am filled with joy at his success. 30 He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
JESUS
John the Baptist recognized the Savior. Think about your life. How are things? Jesus changes everything. He will affect your physical life and your spiritual life. He will give you a new heart that He will educate. Jesus changes everything in your life beginning right now. Ask Christ to deal with whatever obstacle or difficulty you are facing. Do not give up. Sometimes it takes a little while for the Lord to educate us.

1/25 John 3:27-28
John replied, “God in heaven appoints each person’s work. 28 You yourselves know how plainly I told you that I am not the Messiah. I am here to prepare the way for him — that is all.
WORK
God has a job for you to do. It isn’t my job or someone else’s job it is your job. Let the Lord use you to do those things that only you can do. Remember people count with Jesus and He sends us to minister to people.
