2 Kings 18
COMPLETE TRUST
The big credit to Hezekiah in his amazing and godly reign was this: “He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that there was none like him among 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 v 5 – 6 ESV).
Hezekiah was such a great man, that even among the kings of Israel and Judah, from start to finish, there was none like him. If you have ever aspired to greatness, then Hezekiah is a man to look up to.
It wasn’t anything big that resulted in Hezekiah’s power or riches or that made him pleasing to God. It was something any of us can do – and we can do it as well as Hezekiah did. He trusted in the LORD. It was as simple as that. He trusted in the LORD so much that he obeyed God in everything, whether it seemed right, or logical, or not.
Is obedience a product of our trust in God? Do we trust enough to obey God even when no one else is doing it? Let’s be like Hezekiah and trust God all the way.
May we place out trust in God this week.
With love in our Lord,
Robert
