Hezekiah becomes king and reopens the temple in the first month of his first year. The doors his father nailed shut, he unseals before he does anything else. First things first, literally.

There is probably a door in your life that a former season closed. Today is a good day to notice which one, and to watch how fast restoration can move when someone finally decides.

Ahaz shut the doors. Hezekiah opened them in month one, and Chronicles marvels that the restoration came about so suddenly. Sixteen days from sealed to singing. Decay takes years. Repentance can move like weather.

Psalm 24 was banging on gates today too: lift up your heads, that the King of glory may come in. That is the whole pattern. God does not pick locks. He waits for doors, and then He fills the house the moment they move. Whatever your father nailed shut, you hold the crowbar now.
