When Hope is Not Careful

August 25, 2024 • Alexey Kolomiytsev • Isaiah 39

The final story of King Hezekiah's life described by Isaiah has to do with his carelessness in dealing with the king of Babylon's ambassadors. Why is it that people who are driven by hope in the most difficult situations of life are able to let their guard down in seemingly relatively simple circumstances? What is the spiritual significance of such failures?

When Hope Becomes Personal

August 11, 2024 • Alexey Kolomiytsev • Isaiah 38

In describing the spiritual struggle in the life of King Hezekiah, the prophet Isaiah touches on one situation, not related to his duties as king as the leader of Judah, but to his personal life. Hezekiah had fallen ill with a deadly disease. His trust in God during this period of his life played an equally significant role.

When Hope Triumphs

August 4, 2024 • Alexey Kolomiytsev • Isaiah 37:5–38

The meaning of hope in God is that it relies on the power of the One who will surely overcome. In trials, true trust goes through difficult times, necessarily coming to victory. This victory is God's victory. It is different from the triumph that men can have when they achieve temporary success through their own strength. The triumph of true trust is always saturated with humility and expressed in gratitude.
