Good morning beloved, happy Monday,
“And in every work that he begun in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart.”
(2 Chronicles 31:21).
Hezekiah was one of the best kings in Israel. After David, he is next in godliness before the Lord. 2 Chronicles 29:2 aptly describes him, “And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.”
Hezekiah was the son of a very ungodly King Ahaz, and the father of Manasseh, who was the worst king of all. King Hezekiah stood out for his reforms, his cleansing of the temple, his restoration of true worship, and revived the celebration of Passover.
He honored God and God prospered him as he did Joseph, Joshua, and David. He wasn’t perfect, none of us are, but he sought the Lord and did what was right in His sight.
We often associate prosperity with money and material things, and God can prosper us in these things; but the greatest prosperity is spiritual. God told Joshua, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and the you will have good success” (Joshua 1:8).
Obedience, faith, trust, dedication, commitment, and submission lead us to godly living and to be pleasing to God. I would rather prosper spiritually than materially or financially.
Have a blessed day honoring God with all you have. Stay and healthy.
Honor God and He will honor you, obey Him and always remain true.
