FROM THE DIRECTOR’S DESK…

Rev. Dean Gavaris

A look at 2 Chronicles 29-31

A heart change preceded and continued through the removal of idolatry in Judah. A real change
(prosperity) came as a result of Hezekiah’s decision to do right before God. Righteousness has
requirements, which lead to results.

“This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the LORD
his God. 21 In everything that he undertook in the service of God's temple and in obedience to the law and
the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered.” (NASV)
