Responding to the Ups & Downs of Life
Hezekiah (at age 39) cries out to God when Isaiah tells him that he will soon die. God graciously extends his life. Yet, rather than praising God, he then uses this reprieve to boast and flaunt his wealth to the Babylonians. When God sends Isaiah back to him, Hezekiah selfishly does not care for “it won’t happen in my lifetime.” What are we to make of this turn of events? Pastor Mollenkopf examines this fickle response.
