Forward to God

March 5, 2016

Give ear, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see.

2 Kings 19:16

In the days before telephones, email, and mobile phones, the telegram was usually the fastest means of communication. But only important news was sent by telegram, and such news was usually bad. Hence the saying, "The telegram boy always brings bad news."

It was wartime in ancient Israel when Hezekiah was king of Judah. Sennacherib, king of Assyria, had invaded and captured the cities of Judah. He then sent a letter to Hezekiah, a bad-news "telegram" urging his surrender. Hezekiah described the moment as "a day of distress and rebuke and disgrace" (2 Kings 19:3).

With taunts and scoffs, Sennacherib boasted of his past military campaigns, belittling the God of Israel and threatening mayhem (vv. 11-13). In that dreadful moment, King Hezekiah did an unusual thing with the bad-news letter: "He went up to the temple of the Lord and spread it out before the Lord" (v. 14). Then he prayed earnestly, acknowledging the power of God over their gloomy situation (vv. 15-19). God intervened in a powerful way (vv. 35-36).

Bad news can reach us at any time. In those moments, Hezekiah's action is a good example to follow. Spread out the news before the Lord in prayer and hear His reassurance: "I have heard your prayer" (v. 20).

Heavenly Father, when people attack us, we tend to react defensively. Teach us to turn to You instead of taking matters into our own hands. We trust You and love You. Defend us today.

Prayer is the child's helpless cry to the Father's attentive ear.

INSIGHT:

It is interesting that the account of King Sennacherib's siege of Jerusalem and Hezekiah's refusal to submit to him (2 Kings 18-19) is also recorded on the Taylor Prism--a six-sided baked clay document that was discovered in 1830 in the ancient Assyrian capital city of Nineveh. King Hezekiah's answered prayer for deliverance (19:19) should underscore what we know but sometimes forget--God hears our cries, He has spoken to us through the Scriptures, and whatever we face we can trust Him.

ROCKUMENTARY: MARCH 5, 1974

He had begun the year as the vice president inserted after Agnew crashed and burned, and he would succeed to the top job by summer. He had been a reliable ally of Nelson Rockefeller and would appoint him to the vice presidency.

Cue the Rockumentary theme on Turntable #1!
(This was a backup band at Motown that consisted of the Funk Brothers and pickup musicians from the Detroit Symphony.)

The San Remo Golden Strings: “Festival Time”

#10: The O’Jays: “Put Your Hands Together”

They were the harbingers of the Philadelphia Sound of the Seventies.

The O’Jays: “Put Your Hands Together”

A quick ping as I’m still at work and buried for a bit. I’ll be back when I get home.

Oh....it snowed most of the day. Now it’s melting and they let folks go home early if they wanted. I have too much work to do. People have forgotten how to drive in snow and now there is ice everywhere.

The way I go home now had a big accident and traffic was backed up for maybe a mile. I’ll have to measure it.

Sending out prayers for Arrowhead1952 as he recovers from his horrible fall.

#90: Maria Muldaur: “Midnight at the Oasis”

She would become a one-hit wonder, a jazz fusionist. I saw her at a club in Eugene (OR) in 1980, and she put on a wonderful show.

#9: Cher: “Dark Lady”

She had been one of the originals at the Brill Building, a teenage background singer for Phil Spector, and part of a highly successful duo with her husband. She and Sonny Bono had a successful TV show, and her solo career was taking off.

Cher: “Dark Lady”

Maria Muldaur had great vocal technique.

I had one of her albums way back in the day.

It’s been 36 years, and I still remember that show. The guys who opened for her were atrocious, but when she came on, the fun began.

Didn’t she die quite young? Seems like I remember hearing something....

She’s still around and touring. Maybe you’re thinking of Laura Nyro.

LOVE YOU CANTEEN DJ'S!!!
