S – Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He did what was good and upright and true before the Lord his God. ²¹ He was diligent in every deed that he began in the service of God’s temple, in the instruction and the commands, in order to seek his God, and he prospered

2 Ch 31:20–21 CSB

O – Hezekiah’s leadership carried God’s love back to all of Israel.  The effects went from the masses to the levels of people down to individuals.  God’s relationship with Israel was restored.  He did this because he was true before God, diligent in his tasks and wholehearted in his approach.  That is how he sought God and God blessed him.

A – As leaders, this is how we should approach God’s purpose for our lives.  Start with ourselves and examine our own hearts and motives.  Be faithful and diligent with the work given to us.  We need to give ourselves completely to the work before us, seeking God in its entirety. 

R – Heavenly Father, you are God and there is no equal to you.  We desire to honor you for the purposes you established for us.  Give us strength and courage to examine our hearts and motives.  Give us the faith and endurance to diligently in our relationships and tasks today.   We invite your Holy Spirit to lead us in our thoughts, words and actions.
