Happy Ending?

Isaiah 38

Sermon Notes: 

1)   A Brush with Death and a Gracious Reprieve, 1-8

2)   A Good Affliction and a Reflective Rejoicing, 9-20

3)   A Mundane Ending and an Ominous Request, 21-22

Reflection questions:

1.    Does Hezekiah deserve the reprieve that he gets in vv.1-8? What should this kind of kindness teach us? See Romans 2:4

2.    How can affliction possibly be good? See Psalm 119:65-71.

3.    Just because God sometimes gives signs, should we ask for more? See 2 Cor. 2:1:22-24. What do the signs God gives say about Him?
