In 2 Kings 20, King Hezekiah was informed that his days were nearing an end. He prayed to God for healing. In that prayer – recorded in verse 3 – we find a wonderful testimony of God’s grace at work in Hezekiah’s life. (It so happens that Hezekiah was given 15 more years of life in response to this prayer, but the real value of the prayer for us is seeing the confidence we can have at the end of life.)
It is my desire that at the end of my allotted days on earth my testimony be like that of King Hezekiah:
- Lord, remember... (nothing to hide).
- Lord, I have walked before you faithfully (without interruption).
- Lord, I have walked before you with wholehearted devotion (without any rivals or regrets).
- Lord, I have done what is good in your eyes. (Actions and work are important and are “measurable” against God’s standards, the only standards that matter.)
By God’s grace, may I come to the end of my journey with a similar testimony. And, may your testimony be like that of King Hezekiah.
