When Your Back Is Against the Wall; Turn


Many of us from time to time have had our backs against the wall; well, at least that is what it felt like. I used to hate feeling that way. You know, like when you can’t see any possible way out of what has entangled you in the first place. Things like allowing debt to overwhelm us or being frustrated with our marriages or other relationships. Or other times when the atmosphere at work is all but hostile.  

Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord. Isaiah 38:2

King Hezekiah was facing the end of life as he knew it. That’s right, his number had come up. But he learned from being brought up in the word of God and trusting the word of God as an adult, that when there was no way out and with your back against the wall, there was room: room to turn! He turned around, faced the wall and prayed to God, having full confidence that the Lord would hear him. The Lord heard him and added 15 more years to his life.

We too must have that same confidence in our heavenly Father. When we call on him, better yet, when we cry out to Him in prayer, He will hear us and answer us. There is nothing impossible for God to handle, there is always a way of escape!!! During those times you feel there’s no way out; TURN!!!

Your thoughts?
