"He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him. For he held fast to the LORD. He did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments that the LORD commanded Moses." ~ 2 Kings 18:5-6
Yes!
King Hezekiah was a righteous king!
Finally, some relief from the downward spiral of royal leadership that the people of God had been experiencing. And although King Hezekiah does waffle a bit in his steadfastness of faithful obedience to the LORD, God never fails. God maintains His grip of grace upon King Hezekiah's life and is pleased to glorify Himself through the life of this godly king who understands one thing...
...with a quiet heart and repentance, a king positions himself or herself rightly before the One True Holy God.
This is also true of a person,
of a family,
of a local church family, and
of a country.
And it starts in the heart of the one who is yielding to the Holy Spirit.
Praying for this to be vibrantly experienced in all of our lives for God's glory and our growth,
~ Pastor Sean & Tess
