2 Chronicles 29:1-19

Although it is not mentioned in the Chronicles we have reached the point where the LORD through the king of Assyria, comes to take away the ten tribes of Israel. Ahaz has given God every reason to do the same with the kingdom of Judah. However, grace has yet another unforeseen resource. That resource is a faithful king: Hezekiah. By God’s providence, he escaped the terrible sacrifices of the children to Molech which his brothers suffered (2 Chronicles 28:3; 2 Kings 23:10). He is "a brand plucked out of the fire" (Zechariah 3:2). One can sense just how much this young man must have suffered during the infamous reign of his father. The effect is such that, on his very first day on the throne, without wasting any time, he begins the cleaning up operation with the help of the priests and the Levites who are mentioned by name. It starts on the first day of the first month of the first year (vv. 3 and 17)! Dear friends, if you have not already done so, start to set your heart in order without delay. Open the doors wide to Him who wants to enter. Throw out the filth which was tolerated under the previous reign of the prince of darkness. Sanctify your heart for the Lord Jesus Christ. He wants to make it His home from now on and for ever.
