2 Kings 18:7 (NKJV) 7 The Lord was with him; he prospered wherever he went. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
King Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king of Judah. He reigned 29 years In Jerusalem. He did what was right in the sight of the Lord.
He removed the high places, or places of pagan worship, broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made. For until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it.
He trusted in the Lord. He held fast to Him; He did not depart from following Him. He kept the commandments in his heart.
The Bible says, the Lord was with Him and he prospered wherever he went.
Why? Because although Hezekiah lived in this world, he was not of the world. He lived for God and did what was right.
Where are we today in our walk with God? That is what will make us or break us.
We can walk with or without Him. We can keep the commandments or throw them out the window.
Oh, yes, we can live the way the world does. Or, we can live in the world but not be of it.
John 15:19 (NKJV) 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
What is our walk like today?
