SF - Never Give Up \ King David

Never Give Up \ King David

"'Even if a sword is on your neck do not give up hope from seeking HaShem's compassion".

D'var Torah: King Chezikiyah was deathly ill. Isaiah the Prophet came to see him and said, "Make out your will because you have sinned." The king responded, "I have a tradition from my grandfather, King David: 'Even if a sword is on your neck do not give up hope from seeking HaShem's compassion.'" He turned away from the Prophet and prayed to HaShem from the depths of his heart. HaShem accepted his prayer and granted him many more years of life. Even though HaShem sent Isaiah to inform Chezkiyahu that he faced a death sentence, Chezkiyahu did not despair. He knew that he could always rely on HaShem's mercy to save him in every situation.

Moral: The strength of faith in HaShem's infinite compassion empowers us with the confidence that HaShem will always accept our repentance.

Application: Reflect on HaShem's unbounded compassion. Envision King David telling you, "Never give up hope from seeking HaShem's compassion." Be confident that HaShem will accept your repentance and answer all of your prayers.
