Since our God works His redemptive plans through His people (Isa 38:1), we can seek Him for our personal needs (Isa 38:2-8) so that we might seek Him all our days (Isa 38:9-22).
Scripture Reading
Isa 38:17-20
17 Indeed, it was for my own well-being
that I had such intense bitterness;
but your love has delivered me
from the Pit of destruction,
for you have thrown all my sins behind your back.
18 For Sheol cannot thank you;
Death cannot praise you.
Those who go down to the Pit
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, only the living can thank you,
as I do today;
a father will make your faithfulness known to children.
20 The Lord is ready to save me;
we will play stringed instruments
all the days of our lives
at the house of the Lord.
