TSK · 2 Chronicles 31:21

An Exhortation to Love Both God and People Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you except to revere him, to obey all his commandments, to love him, to serve him with all your mind and being,

Make sure you are very strong and brave! Carefully obey all the law my servant Moses charged you to keep! Do not swerve from it to the right or to the left, so that you may be successful in all you do.

The LORD was with him; he succeeded in all his endeavors. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and refused to submit to him.

Now seek the LORD your God wholeheartedly and with your entire being! Get up and build the sanctuary of the LORD God! Then you can bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant and the holy items dedicated to God’s service into the temple that is built to honor the LORD.”

He said to the people of Judah:“Let’s build these cities and fortify them with walls, towers, and barred gates. The land remains ours because we have followed the LORD our God; we have followed him, and he has made us secure on all sides.” So they built the cities and prospered.

He followed God during the lifetime of Zechariah, who taught him how to honor God. As long as he followed the LORD, God caused him to succeed.

How blessed are those who observe his rules, and seek him with all their heart,

When you seek me in prayer and worship, you will find me available to you. If you seek me with all your heart and soul,

Hearing and Doing“Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.
