Lessons from Hezekiah

I've been reading 2 Kings this week in my personal Bible study time. Yesterday, I came to the story of Hezekiah.

Rarely will you find more than a chapter or two devoted to a particular king. But, the Bible records three lengthy chapters for Hezekiah, and for good reason.

The Bible narrative tells us that King Hezekiah lived according to God's plan throughout his lifetime. Some of the kings before him had followed God while others didn't. Those who did still managed to make some spiritual errors that hurt the people.
