“He did what was right from Adonai’s perspective, following the example of everything his father`Uziyahu had done, except that he did not enter the temple of Adonai. Nevertheless, the people acted corruptly.”
2 Chronicles 27:2 CJB
We can learn from others and do what is right, but we can take that lesson to an extreme also! His father Uzziah went into the temple in an arrogant, prideful and ungodly manner and left a leper! Jotham didn’t go in at all and look how the people acted! Our actions can influence those around us, in this case the people acted corruptly!
“Human being, you have already been told what is good, what Adonai demands of you-no more than to act justly, love grace and walk in purity with your God.”
Micah 6:8 CJB
During the days of Jotham he had great prophets around him: Isaiah, Hosea and Micah, and they gave clear direction on how to walk with Adonai! But because in one area the neglect of setting time to go and worship God in His house, the people noticed and acted corruptly! We need to lead!
“With upright heart he shepherded them and guided them with skillful hands.”
Psalm 78:72 CJB
Like king David, God has given us all the tools and instructions found throughout His Word to be leaders, guides and comforters! The question is are we using them?
Have a blessed day being godly leaders!
