Secret to the King’s Success

Bible reference (Old Testament) ~ 2 Chronicles 31:20-21

Hezekiah was king over Judah. In 2 Chronicles 31 it is told how the people over abundantly brought tithes and gifts to God’s temple. King Hezekiah followed God’s direction in what was done with all of it. He honored God during his reign. 

2 Chronicles 31

20 In this way, King Hezekiah handled the distribution throughout all Judah, doing what was pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord his God. 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.

Bible reference (OldTestament) ~ Psalm 25:16-21

 

These words were originally from David.  He cried out to God to rescue him from anguish when he was in a tough situation.

Psalm 25

16 Turn to me and have mercy,
for I am alone and in deep distress.
17 My problems go from bad to worse.
Oh, save me from them all!
18 Feel my pain and see my trouble.
Forgive all my sins.
19 See how many enemies I have
and how viciously they hate me!
20 Protect me! Rescue my life from them!
Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge.
21 May integrity and honesty protect me,
for I put my hope in you.
