“So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.”
2 Chronicles 27:6 KJV
Jotham was the next king after Uzziah and having learned his lesson well, he decided to govern according to God’s ways. Jotham’s strength was rooted in his steady and determined life of obedience to God. That’s why he was successful. Jesus, our example, learned obedience through what He suffered, which is why He became the Victor for our salvation. That’s why He said, “..blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it!” When Peter was stopped from preaching Jesus, he replied to the authorities, “We must obey God than men!” For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. Those who obey God's Word truly show how completely we love Him. That is how we know we are living in Him. Let’s lead blessed, successful and happy lives led by the Holy Spirit Who helps us obey the Word of God. Amen!
