Word for the day: Remind the Lord!
"Remember, LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
It's amazing that God cares about what we've done for him. Hezekiah is given 15 more years of life because of his prayer to remind the Lord of his good character and works. God heals him. For some reason God likes this kind of logic. He considers it faith. Have you asked the Lord for a miracle, a breakthrough, or even a promotion because you deemed what you did as worthy of being blessed? Hezekiah did.
Cornelius is a new testament example of someone who got answered prayers because of what he did! in Acts 10 God rewards Cornelius because of his generosity and prayers. Why don't you be the next one who gets rewarded. Expect it and remind God of what you've done.
