Daily D – 2 Kings 18:5-7
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.

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.
