What a joy it was to get to Hezekiah today and to return to the Psalms! When, day after day, you read about the desecration of Israel and the promises of destruction, it gets a little tiring. Then again, imagine how God must have feltl about this as it happened over years instead of days.
And then I think about my own life... Several of the kings of Judah did well, except they didn't cleanse the country completely. Consequently, God could not bring the healing he longed to bring. As I journey with God, there have been areas I have not allowed God to touch. But I'm learning.
Another really cool thing happened this week. My son, Jim, has set a goal of reading through Genesis this month. He said to me that if I read through the Bible again next year, he wants to do it with me. How cool is that!
