Creative activities based on the Bible story of Hezekiah's sign: The sun goes backwards

In 2 Kings chapter 20, we find the story of King Hezekiah, who was sick and near death. He prayed to God for healing, and God granted him fifteen more years of life. As a sign of God's power, Hezekiah asked for the shadow on the sundial to go backward, and God made it happen. This story teaches us the power of prayer and faith, and how God can intervene in our lives to bring about His plans and purposes. It also reminds us that God is a God of miracles who can do the impossible, and that we should trust in His power and goodness.
