Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, we left off last Sunday right in the middle of a story. If you cast your mind back, you will remember that the Assyrian officials had just challenged Hezekiah about the location of his trust. Who, exactly, did he trust in when he rebelled against the king of Assyria? Our text tonight shows us where Hezekiah’s trust was. It was in God Almighty. How could Hezekiah trust God when God was the one who sent the Assyrians against Judah in the first place? He trusted God because he knew God’s character. He knew that this was a test, an opportunity to trust God instead of surrendering to fear in the face of an existential threat. This chapter, then, reinforces for us what we already know about our God. What we see about God tonight is that He was available to Hezekiah and heard Hezekiah’s prayers — and therefore that He is available to us and hears our prayers too.
