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.

CloseWe know that Jesus is powerful. After all, He raised the dead, gave sight to the blind, and "rebuked" nature. There's no doubt that He can do whatever He wants, any time He wants. But is it possible for Him to calm my soul? Our lives can be full of anxiety, fear, suspicion, danger, and sadness. We call on God to help us, but do we actually believe He can? Or, more specifically, how can we be know if He has? For that, we turn to the Psalms of Lament. These psalms make up nearly 1/3 of the book of Psalms, and they are very relatable when we find ourselves in tough times. They also teach us a lot about our own faith and how it practically intersects with the world around us.
