"In the 3rd year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign. he was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that David his father had done. He removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah. And he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to. He trusted in the Lord, the God of Israe, so hat 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. And the Lord was with him; wherever he went out, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and would not serve him. He struck down the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city."

I needed this today. I needed more of the story in 2 Kings 20, that as Hezekiah prayed on his death bed, His integrity and faith from the days he walked before changed his fate.

I'm growing. I want this to be my testimony.

Greatness is achieved by childlike faith in the Father.
This is an opportunity to trust. And I want to use it well. I want to pray well, wait well, depend well.

I know these are the testing points - when you don't hold any of the cards. I can walk confidently that He is coming through, or i can worry and take it all in my own hands.






But thankfully there are testimonies like these. That those who trust in the Lord and obediently follow him demolish strongholds and accomplish greatness by His grace, His power, for His glory.










It's a beautiful  challenge today.
