“Jotham
grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before The Lord his God.” 2 Chronicles 27:6 (NIV)
EXPLANATION
After King Uzziah died with leprosy, his son Jotham, who had ruled the government and the people during his illness, succeeded him as king of Judah. (2 Chronicles 26:21-23) Jotham did that which was right in the eyes of The Lord and he did not make the mistakes that his father made. (2 Chronicles 27:1-2) He rebuilt the wall of the temple and fortified the forts and towers in the countryside. (2 Chronicles 27:3-4) He conquered the Ammonites and they paid him money and grain annually. (2 Chronicles 27:5-6)

APPLICATION
Every good
and perfect gift, including prosperity, comes from The Lord God. (James
1:17) We are blessed in more ways than
we can count. When we obey The Word of God,
we are also blessed with the additional conditional blessings that He has for
us. Blessed and prosperous is the man
who delights in God’s Holy Word. (Psalm 1:1-3)
If we want to be blessed in more ways than we already are, then we need
to walk more uprightly and steadfastly in the ways of The Lord God. Because The Spirit of The Lord God is within
us, we are in this world but not of it, (John 8:23) and we must walk
circumspectly and not as the unsaved worldly sinners walk. (Ephesians 5:15) We must walk the Godly walk.
Amen
