Have you ever watched people ride a zip line?
Most hang on for dear life (even though they're held by a harness) as they zip through trees and over jungles and waterfalls and streams.
I pictured a zip line as I read part of today's passage. Check it out:
Hezekiah put his whole trust in the God of Israel.
There was no king quite like him,
either before or after.
He held fast to God—
never loosened his grip—
and obeyed to the letter
everything
God had commanded Moses.
And God, for his part,
held fast to him through all his adventures.
Our lives sometimes feel like zip line adventures--sometimes perilous, sometimes exciting and fun. Through it all, God is like the line and the harness--if we hold onto Him, the adventure is a bit smoother. But even if we lose our grip, He's there--holding us with His love.
Tomorrow: 1 Kings 20-22
