Isaiah chapter 39 verse 8

Then Hezakiah said to Isaiah

the word of the Lord that you have spoken is good, for he thought there will be peace

and security in my days.

This is such a sad moment and Hezakai's life as he hears a word from Isaiah that's come from

God that in the days to come the people of God are going to experience suffering.

And not just the people of God, verse 7 says,

so of your own sons who will come from you whom you will father shall be

taken away they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon like he's

just heard horrible news about the coming generation of God's people, including his own family,

and Hezekai says, the word of the Lord that you have spoken is good, for he thought there will be peace and security in my days.

Hezakiah is so self-centered that he rejoices that things are going to be okay for him

even though his sons are going to suffer and there's a lot to think about to consider here when we see

Hezekiah's self-centeredness. And I just want to encourage us to examine our hearts and to see any ways in which this kind of self-centeredness is present in us that's concerned about

our good and is callous toward others good. This can play out in so many different ways

in our lives. On a daily basis today you have opportunities to live for others good

above your own. So what does that kind of life look like by the power of Jesus inside of you who gave his life on a cross for us who sacrificed himself for our good who came to serve us the son of man

came not to be served by us but to serve us how can we live today with the spirit of Jesus, not the spirit of Heciah?

To live, to serve others around us today. I just think of opportunities to share the gospel today

to put others good above our fears or desire for comfort or to protect our reputation.

God help us to share the gospel today in ways that lead to others good and may be costly for us.
