Trust in faith

Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him. And the Lord was with him; he was successful in whatever he undertook. 

Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced at what God had brought about for his people, because it was done so quickly.

Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the Lord, who is good, pardon everyone 19who sets their heart on seeking God—the Lord, the God of their ancestors—even if they are not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary.” 20And the Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people.

This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God.

Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to trust in you with a faith that removes my desires. Help me to give to you all I am and more. Forgive me for my past sin and help me to see the sin lurking in my heart. Make me good for your sake.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
