Great Treasure in Not-So-Great Containers

In 1980 country singer Mac Davis recorded a song he had written with the whimsical lyric:  “Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humble when you’re perfect in every way.”  That record quickly climbed to the top of the charts, probably because it was so outrageous for anyone to claim to be perfect! 

 

Nearly everyone is aware of his or her own flaws and imperfections, but the good news is that God delights in using people who are not at all perfect and in doing great things through them, in spite of their flaws.

 

The history of the kings of the Southern Kingdom of Israel includes one king who is described as the best of the good and godly rulers. . .and yet, he was not perfect.  We’ll learn of his major character flaw and what it means to us in this fifth in the series entitled appropriately, “Not Perfect, But Good:  Studies in the Life and Reign of King Hezekiah,” an episode we call “Great Treasure in Not-So-Great Containers.”  Thanks for joining us in this study designed to encourage all of us who are far less than perfect!
