Isaiah 39:5-8 (NLT)
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Listen to this message from the LORD Almighty: 6 The time is coming when everything you have--all the treasures stored up by your ancestors--will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD. 7 Some of your own descendants will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon's king." 8 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "This message you have given me from the LORD is good." But the king was thinking, "At least there will be peace and security during my lifetime."
Isaiah relays a message to Hezekiah from the Lord that all the possessions he will leave to his ancestors will one day be carried off to Babylon due to his vanity and pride. Then Hezekiah responds knowing the Lord has just revealed his sin saying “the message is good”. For God could have brought destruct in the present time for Hezekiah’s sin, but God chose to wait until a future date and remove the objects so precious to Hezekiah. For instead of leaving a legacy of blessing, Hezekiah is leaving a path to destruction.
Matthew 6: 21 says, “Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be.” Hezekiah obviously had his thoughts on his earthy treasure and not God. He opened his doors to the enemy and let them walk in and look at everything he had. He allowed them free access to roam around and do their will. Hezekiah had done the same with sin. He had opened the door to sin and let sin come into his life. Sin had come in and was allowed to roam freely and take control. Even when it was acknowledged, Hezekiah wasn’t overly grieved about his sin, but instead thought it good his sin was found out, but that another generation was going to pay the debt. Where are your treasures? Here on earth or are they being stored up in heaven? Pray that your may find your treasures in heaven with God. Seek to find the treasures God has in store for you.
