Through the Bible: 2 ChroniclesНамуна

Seek God and Do His Will

And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God, and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper.

2 Chronicles 26:4-5 (ESV)

I learnt one key theme in the Book of Chronicles, that the kings were blessed when they sought God and did God’s will. When you have to make life-changing decisions, it can be easy to just look at what seems the most promising. You put lots of thought into what you want, without thinking of consulting God. The fact is, you need to seek guidance from God. 

When you commit yourself to obeying God and serving Him, you will find your lives blessed.  

God wants you to have an abundant life, live to the fullest, and live in peace. He has good things in store for you. He promised that if you call out to Him, as surely as the sun will rise, He will come to you. 

So today, if you’re considering major changes in your life, be open to God’s leading. God will guide you and He will show you the way. 

Prayer

Lord, I come to You with my life choices, I want to trust in Your ability and not my own. Grant me Your eyes to see things from Your perspective. Help me to focus on You and Your power. Jesus, I know You have great things in store for me, even if I don't understand it. Lead me to trust in Your goodness and mercy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
