Monday Motivation: Prepare Your Way Before God

Monday Motivation: Prepare Your way before God

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

2 Chronicles 26
5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.

Different things may have made people prosper and made many mighty but the top of the list should be God.
The difference God makes is that His blessings make rich and add no sorrow. He sets His edge around whatever He has done and maintains it so long the conditions are met and maintained.

The passages quoted attributed the prosperity and the greatness of the subjects to their seeking God and preparing their ways before God.

The psalmist said, commit your ways unto the Lord, trust also in Him and He will bring it to pass.

We may have all things sorted out based on our limited knowledge and wisdom of experience but we have assurance of a positive outcome when we are in sync with God, the all knowing, the only wise. When we walk with God on a journey He has ordained, we know we can't end up at a dead end.

The best time to do this is before we commence whatever project. As we prepare, we put God first and we consult with Him. Consultation doesn't always need seeing people to ask about what's on God's mind for us. In the corner of our closets, we can have a word with God so long it is heartfelt, sincere and in faith.

Consulting with God would fine tune the plans to such that He can invest in. He is full of wisdom and power by which any project can come to fulfilment and success. And the only purpose for which He is so powerful and wise is to establish the things He has ordained. The purpose of His power is to establish His will...

So when we prepare our ways before the Lord, He becomes involved from the onset. Our dreams becomes the extension of His, we become employees of His project and if we would continue, we are sure of success and His reward.

As we begin another year, it's important that before we go too far, we find security in preparing our ways before God. We need to acknowledge Him in all our ways so He can direct our paths accordingly Proverbs 3:6

Now we have access to Him through the blood of Christ Jesus and the Spirit of the Lord has been given to us to lead, to teach and to guide, we have access to information concerning the will of God even regarding the most physical issues of life that can be beneficial to mankind.

Let's take advantage of this and seek God to prepare our way before the Lord with the expectation of success and greatness. We need not waste divine providence, we are to ride on it into fulfillment.

It is a great year ahead of us as we follow God into it.

Have a great day!
