He removed the pagan shrines, smashed the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke up the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because the people of Israel had been offering sacrifices to it. The bronze serpent was called Nehushtan.
So the Lord was with him, and Hezekiah was successful in everything he did.
I know the way you have raged against me.
28And because of your raging against me
and your arrogance, which I have heard for myself,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth.
For my own honor and for the sake of my servant David,
I will defend this city and protect it.”
Lord God my Father,
Again I ask you to remove the false gods from my presence. Help me to focus my whole being on you and give me discernment to recognize false gods in my path. Keep my heart pure in worship at all times even in the struggles for you are with me and your path is best. Give me your leadership in my family.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
