“Every project that he undertook in order to seek his God, whether in the service of the house of God or in connection with Torah and the mitzvot, he did with his heart; and so he succeeded.”
2 Chronicles 31:21 CJB

In other words, it’s not that he succeeded in worldly things, but instead in godly things! Do we measure our success with a worldly measure or a godly one? Don’t use the world’s standards of success money, position or popularity. All these things will let you down eventually!

“Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.”

Have a blessed day in Him!

“Also in Y’hudah the hand of God was at work, uniting their hearts to do what the king and the leaders had ordered in accordance with the word of Adonai.”
2 Chronicles 30:12 CJB

Know this, no matter what is going on, the hand of the LORD is working and is upon us! The question is, is our heart united with His?

“See, the sky, the heaven beyond the sky, the earth and everything on it all belong to Adonai your God.”
Deuteronomy 10:14 CJB

What a great comfort it is to know that everything belongs to the LORD! Knowing this should make us desire even more to be united with the LORD!

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over the nations, supreme over the earth.”
Psalm 46:10 CJB

Today, don’t get all hung up on the world and its trappings! Here in Psalm 46:10; desist actually means “drop it” and just learn from the LORD! So spend some time learning from the creator of the universe, learning from Him.
Have a blessed day being united with the LORD!

“For our ancestors acted treacherously, they did evil from the perspective of Adonai our God, they abandoned him, they turned their faces away from where Adonai lives and turned their backs on Him.”
2 Chronicles 29:6 CJB

Nothing good ever comes from turning our backs upon the LORD! Unfortunately, this is what we see going on around us today, the world is turning their backs on God! What we need to be doing is calling on the LORD!

“Then, if my people, who bear my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 CJB

Like Hezekiah, who sees all the evil going on around him, humbles himself and starts making things right, we need to do the same. Stop pointing fingers at what is bad, but instead humble ourselves and seek the LORD! Remember, we are His people, not the God rejecting world!

“Adonai, You are kind and forgiving, full of grace toward all who call on You.”
Psalm 86:5 CJB

We are all aware of the evil happening around us, what we need to do is not react with opinions and anger, but instead we need to be seeking the LORD!

“Seek Adonai and His strength; always seek His presence.”
Psalm 105:4 CJB

Today, spend time seeking the LORD, checking to see if maybe there is some evil hanging out in you! Then call on the LORD who forgives, then share that grace and mercy towards others! May our day be richly blessed seeking and praying to the LORD!

“Rather, he lived in the manner of the kings of Israel and made cast metal images for the Baals.”
2 Chronicles 28:2 CJB

We all need to be careful of doing things as the world does or acting like the world around us!

“At that time there was no king in Israel; a man simply did whatever he thought was right.”
Judges 17:6 CJB

We have the same problem today, the world rejects the LORD and refuses to walk in His ways! Even worse the world is doing everything it can to remove God from everything! We as believers need to not give in!

“Moreover, I tell you, whoever acknowledges me in the presence of others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge in the presence of God’s angels. But whoever disowns Me before others will be disowned before God’s angels.”
Luke 12:8-9 CJB

Today, don’t fall into the traps of the world, but instead fall into the loving arms of the LORD!
Have a blessed day in Him.

“Thus Yotam (Jotham) became strong, because he prepared his ways [of doing things] before Adonai his God.”

What great advice! Before we do or say anything we should consult the LORD to do things His way.

“How happy is everyone who fears Adonai, who lives by His ways.”

Life will always be better when we do things the LORD’S way! We will still have the issues of life good days and bad days. But when we are in the LORD’S way, it’s always going to be better!

“How happy the people who live in such conditions! How happy the people whose God is Adonai!”
Psalm 144:15 CJB

Today, the world may be depressing and discouraging, but in the LORD we will have joy!
Have a blessed day living in Him!
