Hezekiah’s Illness, Healing, and Pride | 2 Kings 20 (September 8, 2025)

In 2 Kings 20, King Hezekiah faces a deadly illness. In desperation, he turns to the Lord in prayer—and God mercifully grants him fifteen more years of life, confirming His promise with the miraculous sign of the shadow moving backward. Yet, later in pride, Hezekiah shows off Judah's treasures to Babylonian envoys, opening the door for judgment. This chapter offers both encouragement and warning: God hears the prayers of His people with compassion, but He also humbles the proud. Unlike Hezekiah, who sought his own glory, Christ humbled Himself and secured eternal life for all who believe. 📚 Scripture: 2 Kings 20:1–21 🎙️ Series: Reading the Bible Daily with Dave For more from Reading the Bible Daily with Dave visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/reading-the-bible-daily-with-dave/
