We trace Judah’s fall under Ahaz—idolatry, closed temple, failed alliances—and the swift, grounded reform of Hezekiah, who reopens the doors, restores worship, and leads a nation back to covenant. Practical steps close the episode: Scripture, prayer, praise, and costly, honest change.
• Ahaz’s idolatry and national humiliation
• Prophetic rebuke and mercy toward captives
• Foreign help fails and pride deepens
• Hezekiah opens the temple and repairs
• Consecration of priests and Levites
• Sacrifice, music, and communal worship restored
• Practical habits to return to God
• Repentance as reopening, not performance
Today’s the day to get back on track.
