The Key to True Power: Preparing Your Ways Before God

 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. 2 Chronicles 27:6

Here is a wonderful summary of King Jotham's biography. His reign did not last long, 16 years, but it was effective. What stands out is that Jotham was one of the few kings who did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like his father, yet he did not repeat his father’s mistake. (2 Chronicles 27:2). The people acted corruptly, but he was walking rightly before the Lord. Despite his short reign, Jotham accomplished many significant things: հe built the high gate of the house of the Lord, cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers, fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them.

He became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. This is the secret of true power for every Christian.
