📖 “He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the things of God; and as long as he sought (inquired of, yearned for) the Lord, God made him prosper. He went out against the Philistines and broke down the walls of Gath, of Jabneh, and of Ashdod, and built cities near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. And God helped him against the Philistines, and the Arabs who dwelt in Gur-baal and the Meunim. The Ammonites paid tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread abroad even to the border of Egypt, for he became very strong.” -2 Chronicles 26:5-8 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
God’s will is for us to prosper. If He did not want us to prosper, He would not tell us how to do it. God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). As we seek the face of God, we can expect provision. We can expect blessings and increase in our lives. We can expect our lives to get better. The Bible tells us that “the path of the just is a shining light, it grows brighter and brighter until the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). Serving God doesn’t cost, it pays. You can never go wrong in pursuing God. Pursuing God is not wasted time, it is time well spent. God will change your life. When you go after God, He will never leave you the way He found you.
