2 Chronicles 26:5 Uzziah sought God during the days of Zechariah, who taught him to fear God. And as long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success. (NLT)

Some truths are pretty simple. These two summary sentences about King Uzziah’s life are among them. “As long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success.”

Success that honors God and serves others finds its source in the heart and mind of God. He eagerly shares his truth and wisdom with everyone who comes to him for guidance.

The most important success habit we can cultivate is searching God’s words of truth and life day by day. A regular time and place to meet with him unhurried and expectant places us where we need to be to receive daily doses of life-giving, life-shaping guidance.

Exercising daily builds more muscle than exercising every week or so. Time alone with God daily builds more wisdom and Christlike character than reading the Bible every now and again.

How regularly do you spend time alone with God?

What is your Bible reading plan? How do you capture what you learn? How do you apply what you hear God saying to you? How do you pass along to others the wisdom God is working into your life?

These simple thoughts help us step beyond reading God’s words of truth and life toward having them shape the intentions of our hearts and the work of our hands.

Successful living begins with understanding what true success is. It sees and values success the same way God does. It aligns and attunes our hearts and minds with God’s. We are about as successful as we choose to be. “As long as the king sought guidance from the LORD, God gave him success.”

How much God-honoring success do you want to experience day by day?

—

I will seek God’s wisdom daily that I may experience the kind of success that honors him and serves others.

Our Father, thank you for time alone with you day by day. Thank you for surrounding me with people who know you and love you and seek to honor you with their lives. Thank you for the people we get to serve who come hungry and expectant to develop the habits that lead to the kind of success that helps people see how good and kind you are. 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.
