II Chronicles 29-31

"So the Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people" (v20). Hezekiah took over a ruined kingdom from his wicked father Ahaz. King Ahaz had spread idolatry far and wide and desecrated the Temple. But Hezekiah loved the Lord, and in his very first month as king, "he opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them" (29:3). He called the priests and Levites to come back to the Temple and celebrate the Passover.

Our parents' choices don't always determine our future. Hezekiah chose to embrace God and transform his country, leading his people in holiness.
