Today's reading 2 Kings 19-21; Matthew 15.21-39

King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links: 2Kings 19; 2Kings 20; 2Kings 21

In 2 Kings 20.1-11; 2Chronicles 32.24-26; Isaiah 38.1-8 Hezekiah was ill at at the point of death. He prayed to the Lord a remarakable prayer: 2Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying, 3"Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly. NKJV God sent Isaiah to tell him that he would be healed and lived for fifteen more years. Hezekiah asked for a sign. He asked that the shadow goes back ten steps. He was cured of his illness.

In 2 Kings 20.12-19; Isaiah 39.1-8 Envoys from Babylon came to visit Hezekiah and he showed them what he had in his storehouses and treasures. Isaiah came to Hezekiah after the visit and prophesied that the Babylonians would come and pillage all the treasures and take away his descendants to Babylon. Hezekiah said that the word of the Lord was good because he would not live to see this day happen to him.

2Kings 21
In 1Kings 21.1-10; 2Chronicles 33.1-10, Manasseh, his son became the King of Judah after Hezekiah's death. He was the most evil of the kings of Judah. Idolatry, sorcery and divination came back to Judah. He even sacrificed his own son. Manasseh led the people away from the Lord. Jewish Tradition said Manasseh ordered that Isaiah to be sawed in two.

In 2Kings 21.19-24; 2Chronicles 33.21-25; Amnon became King of Judah and he was an evil king just like his father Manasseh.

Matthew 15

Matthew 15.21-39

In Matthew 15.29-31; Mark 7.31-37, Many people came to listen to Jesus. Jesus had performed many miracles
Jesus feeds the Four Thousand
Matthew 15.32-39; Mark 8.1-10
Matthew 15.32-39; Matthew 14.13-21

He told the dsiciples that he wanted to feed them because they were there for three days and were faint and hungry, and He had compassion on them. he asked how many loaves did they have. They said they had seven loaves with a few fish. Jesus will use small things when they were offered to Him to extend His work. Let us not hold back what we have to give to Jesus. He even used these seven laoves and few fish to feed four thousand people can you imagine what He can do through you when you offer yourself for Christ and His Kingdom.
