🌊 2 Chronicles 29

2 Chronicles 29 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he was unfaithful, have we prepared and sanctified. Behold, they are before Yahweh’s altar.”” 2 Chronicles 29 opens with these words: “Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah,…” The line to keep is 2 Chronicles 29:10: “Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.” Carry the word “heart” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is 2 Chronicles 29:10: “Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in 2 Chronicles 29? Then try this: Read “Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
