2 Chronicles 26:1-5

The Message

King Uzziah

26 ^1-2 The people of Judah then took Uzziah, who was only sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. The first thing he did after his father was dead and buried was to recover Elath for Judah and rebuild it.

^3-5 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king and reigned for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother was Jecoliah from Jerusalem. He behaved well in the eyes of God, following in the footsteps of his father Amaziah. He was a loyal seeker of God. He was well trained by his pastor and teacher Zechariah to live in reverent obedience before God, and for as long as Zechariah lived, Uzziah lived a godly life. And God prospered him.

For Reflection

Uzziah was riding high!  He was a man of God.  Uzziah was a seeker of God and trained in the faith.  Reverent and obedient, He was delivered wisdom and ruled well for 50 years.  Life was good. 

 

Pray

that you, like Uzziah, seek God as your confidant and guide.  Pray that you will have the wisdom to listen to God and be obedient to his will.  Thank God for his unconditional support and compassion.
