| November 9 The Price of Commitment Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God. And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered. 2 Chronicles 31:20-21 The Bible describes King Hezekiah as a leader who "did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God. And in every work that he began . . . he did it with all his heart." Hezekiah paid the price to get the job done. But what is the price of commitment? - Change of lifestyle - Hezekiah couldn't live the way his father lived.
- Loneliness - Hezekiah stepped out in obedience, alone at first.
- Faith in God - Hezekiah believed that God would bless his efforts.
- Criticism - Hezekiah weathered the harsh questions of an older generation.
- Hard work and money - The king gave up time, energy, and the budget to reach his goal.
- Daily discipline - Hezekiah had to instill a daily regimen to bring about reform.
- Constant pressure - The king endured the pressure of potential failure and misunderstanding.
