When Hezekiah showed the Babylonian envoys “all that was in his house,” he thought he was showing his strength. In reality, all he proved was how naive he was to think that same action wouldn’t come back to bite him.
Yet we don’t need storehouses to do the same, do we? That’s what social media is for! But where’s the line between us sharing our excitement for something and it coming off as pride — the very thing that Hezekiah was guilty of?
Unfortunately, only you know that line, but maybe Hezekiah’s story can help us figure it out.

CloseMost Bible readers are familiar with the basic story of Hosea. God tells Hosea to marry a woman of harlotry (Gomer), which represents God's relationship with Israel. Just as Gomer was faithless towards Hosea, so was Israel faithless towards God. But what about Hosea's kids? The first chapter of Hosea says they have three kids -- each of which with names that describe the punishment of Israel. There is a lot we can learn from these three names, both what it meant for Israel, and what it can mean for us today.
