Isaiah 39 tells of how Hezekiah showed his riches to the prince of Babylon. Isaiah then prophesies that everything he showed them would be carried away to Babylon, including his sons. Hezekiah replies that the word of the Lord is good, as long as peace and truth was in his days.
Why didn't Hezekiah weep for his children and his nation?
Chapter 38 says that when Isaiah prophesied to him that he was going to die, he turned to the wall and sought the Lord.
Why did he not turn to the wall and seek God for his children?
So many times people are desperate for their healing or their personal needs to be met, but we need to have a greater burden for the souls of the lost than that. Especially those of our own. Hezekiah, how could you accept the demise of your loved ones? I want turn to the wall and seek God for the most important thing, the salvation of souls.
