Hezekiah is Judah’s greatest king

Devotional

2 Kings 18 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Kings+18&version=HCSB

Hezekiah is Judah’s greatest king. He destroyed all of the things that people used for false worship; even those that might only be considered questionable. Back in Number 21, God told Moses to form a brass snake. When people looked at it, they were healed. Now, 700 years later, it had become an object of worship. Hezekiah had the wisdom to understand that despite the object’s noble beginning, it needed to be destroyed. Hezekiah had some military success, but gave into threats from Assyria, which was the superpower of the day. The Assyrians foolishly believed that they could not only attack Judah, but also insult God. Tomorrow you will read how that turns out.

Sometimes things that were designed to point to God end up distracting people from God. In today’s reading it was a relic. Even today people can get more wrapped up in preserving a religious object than in loving God. Maybe it is some other type of tradition like: singing of certain songs, saying certain words or participating in a specific ritual. They may have been designed for our good, but if they distract us from loving God, it’s time to move on!

False Teachers Among Us

2 Peter 2:1,3   But there were false prophets, too, in those days, just as there will be false teacher among you. They will cleverly tell their lies about God, turning against even their Master who bought them; but theirs will be a swift and terrible end. These teachers in their greed will tell you anything to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago and their destruction is on the way.   Living Bible Ephesians 5:11-12 11 Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them. 12 It would be shameful even to mention here those pleasures of darkness that the ungodly do.     False Teacher’s - Denominations       Now on another note, there are those that say this Bible is the right Bible and the rest are false and take verses and chapters out of context.     Reviews Bible Versions     Heresy or Heresies     Regarding False Teachers      Everyone’s a False Teacher Except Me     False Teachers Condemned     False Prophecy
