The people of Judah found rest in the words of King Hezekiah, and this highlights the importance of trusting in God’s promises. Hezekiah’s words were a reflection of God’s faithfulness, and the people rested in the assurance that God would protect and deliver them. Just as the people of Israel were comforted by the leadership of their king, we are called to find rest in God’s word. God’s promises are a source of true rest for our souls. When we are weary, anxious, or burdened by life’s trials, we can find peace by meditating on His promises. His word is not only a source of guidance but also of comfort. It reassures us that we are not alone, and that He is faithful to fulfill His word. In our daily struggles, it’s easy to forget that God’s promises are steadfast. However, just as Hezekiah reminded the people of Judah, we must remind ourselves that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. When we rest upon God’s promises, we acknowledge that He is in control, and we surrender our anxieties to Him. His peace surpasses understanding and guards our hearts and minds.
Matthew 11:28
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
2 Thessalonians 2:16

2 Corinthians 1:3
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
