2 Kings 20 is full of Who God is...

Verse 1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord , Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.

I love the story of Hezekiah, we know in chapter 18 he removed the high places and did what was right in the sight of the Lord.

Verse 2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord , saying, 3 I beseech thee, O Lord , remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
Hezekiah is always reminding the Lord he did what was right and calls on it in his time of need.
Verse 4And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord , the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord . 6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

I have come to understand God gave us all we ever needed for our bodies on earth , added with faith and prayer .
He always hears Hezekiah but speaks through Isaiah. I always love to pause at Who God chooses to speak through and Jesus did the same thing with His Apostles. If we look at the list of Spiritual gifts we see the first two are always Apostles and Prophets.

These verses shows us many things but number one is ,Who hold life in His hands and He can do whatever He wants.
I do not understand Hezekiah asking for a sign but God gives it.

Verse 8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day? 9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord , that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
Isaiah cried to the Lord and makes the shadow go backwards . I have seen the Lord do some amazing things with time , so I love this passage.
Hezekiah shows us we can love God very much and still fail on a grand scale. Hezekiah allows the enemy in and shows them all he has.
Verse 17Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord . 19Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
What a unique character this Hezekiah was and one to remember how he prayed to God and God listened...
