Isaiah 38:17 - “Lo, for my own welfare I had great
bitterness; It is You who has kept my soul from the pit of nothingness, for You
have cast all my sins behind Your back."
King Hezekiah was overjoyed when Isaiah told him God was
extending his life another 15 years. The king was to die in the prime of his
life but God had mercy.
How many of us have been granted a grand reprieve? Our lives
were full of bitterness, not understanding that God was there all the time. Our
existences were filled with nothingness, yet we did not know it. The anxiety
and the pain of living filled us with overwhelming despair, masking how truly empty
we were in reality. Then, the glorious revelation of Jesus Christ came when He
"cast all our sin behind His back." The epiphany of this great act
and the realization of the emptiness of our lives as he backfilled them with
His love, joy, and peace became our moment of transformation.
If you have not done so, or have lost your way and are “stuck,”
please consider the following: Embrace God this day. He desires to turn our
nothingness into great somethingness.
