....seek

In everything that he undertook in the service of God's temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered. - 2 Chronicles 31:21

Hezekiah was a godly king. He was also a very talented businessman and builder. He was responsible for many noteworthy projects that are described in the Old Testament. We discover from the passage above that King Hezekiah had two major attributes that contributed to his success and prosperity: He sought God, and he worked wholeheartedly upholding God's laws.

Godly success involves a partnership between us and God. Success in God's economy means achieving the purpose for which God made us. That purpose can never be discovered without seeking Him with a whole heart. 

We may achieve great things without seeking God, but we will never achieve the things God set out for us to achieve without seeking Him. Unless we seek Him, we may find ourself one day climbing to the top of the ladder only to find it leaning against the wrong wall.

What does it mean to seek God? It means creating time to listen to still small voice speaking to us. It means developing an ear to hear His voice so that we know when to turn to the right or to the left. It means reading His Word in order to know Him more intimately. God desires to know you.

Are you willing to take the time to know Him? 
If so, you can be sure He will guide you
