ANECDOTE

Hezekiah's Self-Interest

  • King Hezekiah, though a good king, displayed self-interest when faced with prophecy.
  • He prioritized his own peace and security over the future exile of his people.
INSIGHT

Trust in God, Not Man

  • Trust in the Lord, not in princes or mortal men, as they are all fallen and broken.
  • Even good leaders like Hezekiah can have flaws and selfish moments.
ADVICE

Pray for Future Generations
