Turn The Situation Over To God
Thursday, March 28, 2024Key Verse
“I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore” (2 Kings 20: 3).
Text — 2 Kings 20:1-6
Message
Many conditions in life cause sadness and sorrow. At such times one may be confused or even feel devastated. Such conditions may be failure, lack, bereavement, rejection, loneliness or terminal illness, as was the case of Hezekiah in our study today. However, “Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal,” said Thomas Moore. When Isaac lost his mother, Sarah, he must have been heartbroken. However, he and his father, Abraham turned the situation over to God and God provided a wife for Isaac at the age of about thirty years.
The Bible states that he loved her, “and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death” (Genesis 24:67). No matter the situation in your life, turn it over to God. You cannot cope alone, yet worrying and thinking will not solve your problems. Dear friend, are you or a loved one sick and the medical bills are piling up? Or are you having problem paying your school fees? Do not fret. Rather, turn that situation over to Jesus, for He cares and has power to save. Read Matthew 8: 23- 27.
