Summary
The reign of Hezekiah is one that is very well-known, and we are told that there is no king like him. Emma Dotter clarifies the intricacies of Hezekiah’s reign and how his ending was confusing compared to how it began. She asks the listener to evaluate their own faithfulness, and what ditch they can fall into.
Additional Scripture used in this Podcast:
Isaiah 55:6, “Seek the Lord while he may be found.”
Acts 17:26-27, “Though he is not far from any one of us.”

| 0:00.0 | Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge, but we're all on this journey together. |
| 0:05.8 | We're praying that this podcast inspires you, helps you better understand God's word, and builds your faith. |
| 0:12.2 | This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter. |
| 0:17.1 | Thanks for joining. Today, we are reading Second King's 19 and 20. But before we jump in, I want to thank all of you have left a review on this podcast. Our goal is to get to 1,000 reviews by January, and we're a little over halfway there. Leaving a review helps new friends find the journey and is a great way for the team and I to hear from y'all as to how |
| 0:38.0 | join the journey has been a blessing to you and how we can help it become an even more helpful |
| 0:43.9 | tool as you engage with God through His Word. So all that said, please leave a review if you haven't |
| 0:49.0 | yet. But regardless of whether you've left a review or not, we are in Second King's 19 through 20, |
| 0:55.0 | focusing on Hezekiah's legacy. |
| 0:57.0 | Hezekiah became king when he was 25 years old. |
| 1:01.0 | Think about that. Where were you when you were 25? |
| 1:05.0 | When I was 25, I had just started working for Watermark's Young Adult Ministry, The Porch. |
| 1:10.0 | It was my third job post-college, and at the time, I thought this was going to be a dream year. |
| 1:16.7 | Professionally, like Kezacaya, I'd done relatively well for my age, but COVID hit right before I turned 25. |
| 1:24.6 | So my new job and adult life didn't look quite as I had expected it to. The bad news of |
| 1:30.4 | the pandemic struck everyone, no matter how old. And really, like most 25-year-olds, I was truly just |
| 1:37.4 | starting to learn what it looked like to live with healthy rhythms as an adult. The only hiccup being |
| 1:42.6 | this era of my life took place during COVID, |
| 1:45.9 | so nobody, no matter how old, knew what was ahead or what was in store. The world felt uncertain, |
| 1:53.2 | unsure, and afraid. And we see a similar reality at the beginning of Chapter 19. King Hezekiah got some bad news. The question is, |
| 2:03.5 | where did he turn? When life throws curveballs at you, where do you go? Do you run to the Lord, |
| 2:08.9 | or do you run to the news or to Netflix, numbing out scrolling on your phone? I'll tell you what, |
| 2:14.0 | candidly, that can be my ditch. When bad news comes your way, do you get tangled up in anxieties or worries? |
