Today in Isaiah, King Hezekiah comes through. God says, "Trust me, not the powers," and he does. God delivers his people. In Luke, Jesus is doing a different sort of delivery: he is pronouncing the castoffs, the left-outs and the rejects blessed, but the rich and prosperous as suffering. Surely people thought Jesus was crazy as he said this. And maybe that's the common thread in today's verses: two guys who probably made unpopular decisions (I can just hear Hezekiah's military yell in outrage as he said his strategy was to wear burlap and pray), but who nevertheless found God's blessing. May we be just crazy enough to trust God with our well-being also.
