Success isn’t always measured in dollar bills, or the number of likes or friends you have on your Facebook page, or even how many followers you have in social media. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re at the top of your company’s structure. It doesn’t even translate if you’ve won a championship in any league. Success happens when God sees it necessary for you to accomplish His will. Sure, He grants success to people who don’t follow Him, but it’s in some way or another eventually going to benefit those that do follow Him, which will bring Him glory. Hezekiah sought God with his entire heart. It’s the reason he was so successful as king. When we seek God whole-heartedly, success will follow. It just might not be the type of success the world tries to define. This success lasts forever, and it only comes from the One Who granted it. Train your mind and heart to seek God fully, and enjoy the success that follows. It may not look like the world’s definition of it, but it surely satisfies the soul.
21 In all that he did in the service of the Temple of God and in his efforts to follow God’s laws and commands, Hezekiah sought his God wholeheartedly. As a result, he was very successful.
