2 Chronicles 31

Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.  And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered. vv.20-21

Read chapter 31
Hezekiah is ranked up there with some of the great godly kings of the past such as King David.  Hezekiah did was was good, right and true before the Lord his God to restore and uphold the way God intended the nation Israel to do.  His heart was for God which ultimately was putting the best interests of the people by turning them back to true religion.    It's not always an easy task nor do others often see or understand the good intentions behind certain ways.  Yet the integrity that Hezekiah had as a king was one that we should all desire in a leader.  Hezekiah was blessed by the Lord as he sought God with all his heart and brought reformation to Jerusalem and the hearts of the people.  Look at the three qualities of Hezekiah: 1. he did what was good, right and true, 2. he sought God, 3. worked with all his heart.  Which of those three characteristics do you desire to focus on more in your life?
