You ordered Chad's book on the Psalms yet?

If you haven't done that, man, pause what you're doing, go to the show notes, click the link,

get that ordered, then resume, of course, as we go through Isaiah.

And where we're at in Isaiah is chapter 39, Hezekiah was real sick.

And God said, I don't think you're going to make it. And so Hezekiah

had to talk to Isaiah a little bit and had a prayer. Wasn't a great prayer. But God said, I'm going to give

you 15 more years. How about that? That's what I'm going to do. And then Hezekiah has a great kind of

prayer, song, poem, whatever it is, in response to that. And then we got this, you know, we ended

with this weird little detail about how exactly it is that God would make Hezekiah better. Yeah,

he had a boil issue. And so get some fig cake.

You got, went to the store, grabbed a fig Newton, stuck those on those boils.

And there you go.

God working through means.

And Hezekiah has recovered.

And that is where we ended.

That's got to be one of the strangest details.

Next time I have a boil. I know I'm getting a thick cake.
