Isaiah Meanderings (32): Ch 38 - Hezekiah and God and the Nature of Real Relationship

Chapter 38 of the Book of Isaiah is a precious glimpse into God's very real relationship with Hezekiah. Hezekiah receives grim news; but, instead of being overwhelmed by it - he turns to God in prayer -speaking candidly out of the reality of their own relationship. God responds to Hezekiah. They are in a genuine relationship that exposes a key component for being a 'very good' king - the ability to turn to God when things are disappointing and letting God's love speak in such a moment.
