In the second month, King Hezekiah reinstated the passover. 2 Chronicles 30:26 says, “So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon…there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.”

Hezekiah brought great reforms. They broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and altars. He commanded the people to bring support for the priests. 

2 Chronicles 31:5 says that as soon as the commandment was circulated that they brought in, “…abundantly the tithe of everything.” They laid them in heaps from the third month to the seventh. Verse 21 says of Hezekiah, “In every work that he began…he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.” 

Are you prospering in your life? Is the Lord answering the desires of your heart? Think about what you are praying for. The next part in Hezekiah’s life really sobers me. We have to go to Isaiah 38 to pick up the story. Verse 1 says that Hezekiah was deathly sick. The prophet came to deliver a message.
