In 2 Kings 20, we witness a powerful story of faith, healing, and humility. King Hezekiah falls gravely ill, and the prophet Isaiah delivers a sobering message — prepare for death. But through heartfelt prayer, Hezekiah’s faith moves God to extend his life by fifteen years, confirmed by a miraculous sign: the shadow on the sundial moves backward.
However, this miracle of mercy is followed by a moment of pride. When envoys from Babylon visit, Hezekiah proudly displays his treasures, prompting Isaiah’s prophecy of future captivity.
This chapter teaches us that God answers sincere prayer and works wonders through faith — but also warns that pride can bring destruction.
🙏 Key Lessons:
Prayer has power when it comes from the heart.
Miracles reveal God’s mercy, not our glory.
Pride can undo blessings if we forget their source.
📖 “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” — Proverbs 16:18 (KJV)
