Did you ever really want something and then you got it only to realize you may have been better off without it? In this episode of "Why is THAT in the Bible?!" we look at a passage in 2 Kings where God tells King Hezekiah, who is very sick, that he is going to die. Hezekiah prays and asks God to let him live. God relents and gives Hezekiah 15 more years of life. As we read on, those 15 years were not good to the godly King Hezekiah.
This passage raises many questions: Why did God allow Hezekiah 15 more years of life when Scripture says God has each of our days numbered? Did God contradict His own Word by doing it? Why did Hezekiah sin like he did after God just gave him this miracle? Since God was always going to use Babylon to punish His people, did God make Hezekiah sin to entice Babylon? Does God ever lead us into sin as part of His plan and purpose? And a huge question that has been the topic of many hot debates, since God is completely Sovereign, does that mean we don't really have any free will? Are we just robots programmed by God?
