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.

Matthew 1:20, 21 But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Hebrews 6:15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.

Daily D – Hebrews 4:15-16

Hebrews 4:15, 16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.

Daily D – Psalm 25:8

Psalm 25:8 The Lord is good and upright;
therefore he shows sinners the way.
He leads the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

Daily D – Philemon 15, 16

Philemon 15, 16 For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave — as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
