2 Chronicles 32-33

Common Theme
God delivers and strengthens His people when they rely on Him, but rebellion and pride lead to judgment and exile. Yet, even in the depth of sin, God shows mercy to the repentant, restoring those who humble themselves before Him.

Questions

• How does Hezekiah’s reliance on God during Assyrian threats contrast with Manasseh’s rebellion?
• What does Manasseh’s restoration teach us about God’s willingness to forgive even the gravest sins?

God Shot
God is both a mighty defender of His people and a merciful redeemer of the repentant. His power humbles kings, and His grace reaches into the darkest prisons to bring restoration to those who turn back to Him.
