Doing good, right, & true before the Lord

2 Chronicles 31:20-21 20) Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, & he did what was good & right & true before the Lord his God. 21) And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God; in the law & in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. so he prospered. What did it mean that Hezekiah seek God with all his heart? Hezekiah didn't half seek God, or did it half heartily. He seek God with all his heart. He gave his all & did right, good, & true before the Lord. Hezekiah could used the excuse that his father didn't teach him. Hezekiah father was an ungodly King. Hezekiah loved God & wanted to do right, good, & true. Hezekiah destroyed all of the pagan shrines & gods that Judah had gotten into. Hezekiah was determined to honor God!! Colossians 3:23-25 23) And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord & not to men, 24) knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. 25) But he who does wrong will he repaid for what he has done, & there is no partiality. We should be determined to honor God. Not with lip service but, with our hearts. Just like Hezekiah did. Hezekiah was blessed for honoring God. What we should say is what Jesus said for us to do. Look at Matthew 5:37 but let your Yes be Yes & your no, No. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one. We need to develop a reputation of excellence in all that we do. Give God your best & always do your best for His Glory as Hezekiah did. Don't lower your standards. With an excellence reputation people will want to work with you, for you, & send others to you as they know you're whole-heartily that they can trust you! In work do it unto the Lord, give it your best. Bring honor unto God for this. God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, & the Holy Spirit will be pleased. You will have a life of excellence. Don't settle for just existence when you can have excellence! In Christ Rev. Londa Picard
