TRUE STRENGTH AND SUCCESS COMES FROM OBEDIENCE
THE SEED
“So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.” – 2 Chronicles 27:6 (KJV)As human beings, we often pursue relevance, power, and success. But true success comes from a life aligned with God. King Jotham became strong and successful not because of his military strength, but because he lived in obedience to God. If we want to experience lasting success, we must prioritize God’s kingdom. A life rooted in God receives spiritual nourishment; joy, peace, victory, and ultimately, eternal life. A life disconnected from God becomes starved and empty, lacking the fullness only found in Christ. God doesn’t desire spiritual death for us.
That’s why He sent His Son to offer us new life. As new creations, we must live by the principles of God’s kingdom.
BIBLE READING: 2 Chronicles 27:1–6
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, give me a heart that obeys Your Word, so that I may attain true success and reign with You in heaven. Amen.
