2 Chronicles 3:1-4:22; Ezekiel 28:1-26; John 10:19-42
Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord … For there shall be peace and truth in my days. Isaiah 39:8
Hezekiah “did right in the sight of the Lord”, even removing the high places. But later he succumbed to a sulking spirit and selfpreservation. Brothers and sisters, it is not enough that there be “peace and truth in [our] days”. We have a charge to “lay up” for future generations (if the Lord tarry), to commit Christian doctrine to faithful ones (2 Tim. 2:2), who will pass it on, to “teach them to observe all things” that He has commanded us. —Eunice Free
A charge to keep I have, a God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save, and fit it for the sky.
To serve the present age, my calling to fulfill,
O may it all my pow’rs engage, to do my Master’s will! —C. Wesley
