Isaiah 38: 5The Lord says I have heard your prayer and seen your tears.
This was the word that God had given to King Hezekiah when he
wholeheartedly responded to the warning from God. God saw the heart of Hezekiah
who repented immediately when he heard that God had judged him. He put on sack
cloth and turned his face to God seeking for forgiveness from God. He cried out
in travail, he opened his heart to God who then heard his prayers.
This was then God responding to his prayers. We read that God
had heard the cries of King Hezekiah and had even set the sun backwards as a
sign of His commitment to Hezekiah.
Of course we do not expect that God will act the same way
again but we can be assured that just as God had not forsaken Hezekiah, today
God has also not forsaken us. He still hears our cries and He sees our hearts whenever
we repent in sincerity.
God is looking for a people who are righteous and holy before
him. He is looking for people who are humble and quick to repent and return
back to Him. Repentance is the key to God’s forgiveness and also the key to
release revival that would come upon us, His people.
