Commentary on 2 Kings 20:3

Theological / Devotional

With a perfect heart. Hezekiah’s statement must be judged in the light of the times. In our present age of spiritual enlightenment it is generally not thought proper for man to present his own goodness as the basis of God’s favor. Man’s endeavors come so woefully short of meeting the divine standard that the suppliant is urged to place his trust in merits wholly outside himself. Nevertheless it is proper, having done all in our power to comply with the conditions, to present the promises of God as the basis of our confidence.
