So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God. v.6
Read chapter 27
A very short account is given of Jotham both here and in 2 Kings 15. Jotham did what was right in the sight of the Lord just like all the good that his father Uzziah had done, thankfully he didn't seem to follow in his fathers footsteps of pride. Of the few verses about Jotham it's noted that "he prepared his way before the Lord his God" or as the NIV puts it "walked steadfastly before the Lord." This was Jotham's habitude- it was his habit to do things for the Lord and it was his attitude to desire doing right for the Lord. It is because of this habitude that Jotham becomes mighty as a blessing from the Lord. He let the word and will of God order, direct and guide his ways. God's way is always the best way.
What is your habitude for the Lord in your practical daily life?
