ANECDOTE

Hezekiah's Extra Time

  • King Hezekiah prayed for more time when he was ill, and God granted him 15 more years.
  • However, he didn't use this time wisely, and his son Manasseh, born during this time, became one of Judah's worst kings.
INSIGHT

Time and Holiness

  • Hezekiah's story teaches that having more time doesn't guarantee a better outcome.
  • True growth comes from intentionally using time to become holier, not just living longer.
ADVICE

Using Time Wisely

  • Pray for healing, but more importantly, pray that God helps you use your time wisely.
  • Focus on becoming a better person, more like Jesus, regardless of how much time you have left.
