Hezekiah the Reformer

Hezekiah's reign was certainly eventful, but what stands out in terms of spiritual application is his reform of worship. He effectively began with a clear-out of that which offended God and a preparation of the priest class. He then gave the country-wide call to an act of worship, to which some responded negatively, other positively. We then consider the end of our worship: the glory of God. Hezekiah provides us with an example from which we can make application if we would see reformation in our time. We are to clear out idols from our souls, respond to the call to worship by our attendance at times of corporate worship, and by the grace of God ensure that our offerings of worship are made in the beauty of holiness, in spirit and in truth.
