Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah,
began to reign…. 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.
Thank You for this story which shows that no matter how messed up the
parent is, You can still redeem the child. I pray that my children and
those spiritual children of my heart would trust in You more so than
any of their ancestors, may they hold fast and tight and long to You –
for You have them. May they bring You praise and make You famous in
their lives.
Lord God, the Assyrian king’s words (verses 31-32ish) sounded so much
like Your words of the Promised Land. Help me to really recognize the
origin of familiar words lest I be led astray in my laxness. This is
war, I can’t afford to be careless in my assenting. Your Word, oh Lord,
Your Word and no other. Help me today to experience more of You.
