Word

- Read:
- 2 Kings 20:1-8 (NLT)
- Righteous – 2 Kings 18:3-7 Righteousness means living right, not just in a moment, but as a lifestyle!
- Reality – 2 Kings 20:1 Righteousness does not exempt us from human suffering however, just look at Jesus – and the day came when Hezekiah found himself facing a difficult personal struggle with illness, one that was severe!
- Request – 2 Kings 20:2-3 Hezekiah however understands that God is not just a God of rules but a God who loves relationships! Hezekiah was perfect and flawless, just that he for the vast amount of his life lived faithfully for the Lord; his heart was always yearning and living for God.
- Reward – 2 Kings 20:4-6 God’s eyes and ears are tuned to His faithful servants!
