-------------------
When Hezekiah became king, he faced a nation steeped in idolatry and spiritual decay. Instead of following his father’s path, he made an immediate decision to turn Judah back to God. He reopened and cleansed the temple, called the priests to sanctify themselves, and led the people to renew their covenant with the Lord.
Hezekiah's example challenges us to examine our own life: what needs to be removed so that your heart is clean before God? Just as Hezekiah refused to let his past define him, you can choose today to follow God wholeheartedly and put Him first in every area of your life.
