About this episode

In this episode, Kim discusses the dangers of viewing objects and people as our property rather than as things to steward for the Lord, using King Hezekiah's story as a focal point.

SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 367, “You Can Bid on This Showcase,” Kim discusses the dangers of mistaken objects and people as our property instead of as ours to steward for the Lord. In today’s scriptures, King Hezekiah looked as though he were the host of the ancient version of the game show “The Price Is Right.” He had moved from being grateful for all the Lord had placed in his path to acting as though he were the owner. As obvious as it is to see that Hezekiah had lost track of who was in charge, it can not be as easy to see the same behaviors in ourselves. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 32:24-33 and 2 Kings 20:12-21, and with 2 Chronicles 32:31 as the focal verse: 31 However, when ambassadors arrived from Babylon to ask about the remarkable events that had taken place in the land, God withdrew from Hezekiah in order to test him and to see what was really in his heart.
