S. 20 This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. 21 In everything that he undertook in the service of God’s temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered.
O. Hezekiah had an amazing life. He led Israel back to being a prosperous people. He led them back to a spiritually strong relationship with God (Read 2 Chronicles 29-31), because he led such an exemplary life before the people and God. In EVERYTHING he sought the Lord. That was the key to his prosperity.
A. I desire that kind of focus and relationship with God as well. I would love to be a man who follows God so closely, that other people see the life and desire the same. That’s what spiritual leaders do. They have an aura (anointing or blessing from the Lord), that is evident and desired.
P. Thank you Father for Hezekiah’s tremendous example of a prosperous life. Grant me wisdom and strength to be such a man, who lives so close to you that it becomes infectious to those around and blesses them. In Jesus name!
