Today’s Scripture: 2 Chronicles 27:2, 6, 28:1-4, 22 The Message--In God’s eyes Jotham lived a good life, following the path marked out by his father Uzziah. Unlike his father, though, he didn’t desecrate The Temple of God. Jotham’s strength was rooted in his steady and determined life of obedience to God. Ahaz (Jotham’s son) didn’t live right in the eyes of God; and indulged in the outrageous practice of “passing his sons through the fire,” a truly abominable thing he picked up from the pagans God had earlier thrown out of the country—at the very time that everyone was turning against him, he continued to be against God! He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus. He had just been defeated by Damascus; he thought, “If I worship the gods who helped Damascus, those gods just might help me, too.” But things only went from bad to worse.
Today’s Word: Success
Today’s Prayer: Dear Lord, the key to success is not following people, but pleasing you. So, how do I know my choices, my actions, my attitudes are pleasing to you.  How can I know for sure I’m not getting caught up in people pleasing? I guess it comes back to delighting in you as your Word says to do in Psalms 37:4. If you light up my life rather than some person, title, or accomplishment then I think I have found true success. Amen.
