WORKING WHOLEHEARTEDLY

"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 detail 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 you and God. Success in
God's economy means achieving the purpose for which God made you. That
purpose can never be discovered without seeking Him with a whole heart.
You may achieve great things without seeking God, but you will never
achieve the things God set out for you to achieve without seeking Him.
Unless you seek Him, you may find yourself 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 sit before His
throne in quiet places. It means reading His Word in order to know Him
more intimately. It means developing an ear to hear His voice so that we
know when to turn to the right or to the left. 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 into those things that will bring success to every aspect
of your life.
