2 Kings 18:5-7 Hezekiah relied on the Lord God of Israel; not one of the kings of Judah was like him, either before him or after him. He remained faithful to the Lord and did not turn from following him but kept the commands the Lord had commanded Moses. The Lord was with him, and wherever he went he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him. (CSB)

“The LORD was with him, and wherever he went he prospered.”

What was the secret of Hezekiah’s success?

”He remained faithful to the Lord and did not turn from following him but kept the commands the Lord had commanded Moses.“
‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭18‬:‭6‬ ‭CSB‬‬

To hear and obey God is the most important lesson we ever learn.

To hear and obey God is the most important lesson we ever teach.

In large part, we get to choose our consequences. Hezekiah chose to hear and obey God. He was prosperous and successful because of it.

What God promised, God fulfilled:

“Above all, be strong and very courageous to observe carefully the whole instruction my servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or the left, so that you will have success wherever you go. This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.“
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭CSB‬‬

It is important to remember that God’s idea of prosperity and success may look different from yours. God blesses us with prosperity and success not to impress people with how good we are but with how good he is. He wants to bless everyone with prosperity and success. He wants everyone to know from deep experience how good he is to those who love and honor him.

God’s prosperity and success plan is not about our fantasies but about his dreams for us. His dreams are better than our fantasies every time.

Turn from the life of a daydream believer to the life of a God-path follower. The adventures are real. The destinations are delightful. The life is fulfilling. The rewards cannot be counted with any currency offered by nations or employers.

I will hear and obey God and help others do the same.

Our Father, make me ever-more acutely attuned to your voice. Give me an ever-greater confidence in your will and ways. Empower me to bless others as you bless me. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
