1. An Attitude We Should Never Take (13-14)

• God alone holds the future
• “In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’” 2  Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, 3  and said, “Remember now, O LORD, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4  Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying, 5  “Go and say to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the LORD, the God of your father David, “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.”  Isaiah 38:1-5

• God always knows what is best

"Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah. "And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel."For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a wooden image, as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them” 2 Kings 21:1–3

• Manassah’s son Amon “did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his father” 2 Kings 21:20;
• Israel suffered 57 years because of their disobedience
