HEZEKIAH SOUGHT GOD AND WORKED WHOLEHEARTEDLY
Keywords 31:21
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.
1. Idols removed, tithes
brought in (1-8)
On the way back
from the Passover celebration, the Israelites smashed the sacred stones, cut
down the Asherah poles, and destroyed the high places and the altars in Judah
and Israel. It was their decision to return to the true God and worship the
LORD only. Hezekiah assigned duties to each division of the priests and Levites
for temple worship. He resurrected offerings for temple services, tithes, and
provisions for priests and the Levites so that they could devote themselves to the
Law of the LORD. The people generously brought their offerings.
2. Hezekiah did what was good, right, and faithful before the
LORD (9-21)
Hezekiah ordered
the preparation of temple storerooms, and appointed Levites to oversee and
distribute contributions, tithes, and gifts to the priests and Levites. As a
good steward, Hezekiah did what was good, right, and faithful before God. In
everything he undertook, he sought God, worked wholeheartedly, and was blessed
to prosper.
Prayer Lord, thank you for your blessing on me. Help me to seek what is
good and right in your sight and work wholeheartedly for your kingdom.
One Word Seek God and work wholeheartedly
