Redefining Success: Week 1

Success looks very different through God's eyes than it does through the world's. Through the life of King Hezekiah, we see that true success is simply doing what is pleasing to God. Hezekiah took four deliberate actions to please the Lord: removing high places, smashing sacred pillars, cutting down Asherah poles, and breaking up the bronze serpent. Each action teaches us something powerful about what it means to honor God fully. What influences us can begin to control us, and we must be willing to remove those influences. We cannot allow memories of past moves of God to replace our hunger for His presence today. God is not a formula to be manipulated but a Father to be trusted. Living a life pleasing to Him requires putting our full hope and trust in Him every single day.
