COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
2nd Kings Chapter 20 tells the final story of Hezekiah. Two issues we see in his life are: he didn’t finish well, and perhaps his prosperity was his downfall. If you are unfamiliar with the story, the Lord grants him 15 extra years to his life after informing him he was going to die. Instead of spending them wisely, he ends up showing off his possessions to envoys from Babylon. Isaiah comes to him and prophesies that the same people will eventually destroy/conquer/deport Israel. King Hez’s response to this new is what is so disturbing. 2nd Kings 20:19 says, “Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, ‘The word of the Lord that you have spoken is good.’ For he thought, ‘Why not, if there will be peace and security in my days?'” The moral of the story is really if you want to finish well, then don’t focus on yourself and don’t get distracted by the physical possessions you have. Finishing well means preparing the next generation, and not just living for yourself in the here and now.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Gal. 1:10 – “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”  I find myself more often than I want to be true that my reactions or actions are about first pleasing someone else and then God.  If I’m a servant of Christ, He needs to be who I’m focusing on pleasing, not anyone else.  The gift of the gospel is that God pleased with me because He is pleased with Jesus.  It’s out of that motivation that I want to love, serve, and please Christ, instead of others.
