Read: 2 Chronicles 27
You can learn a lot from each other’s mistakes.
Do you see faults in your siblings?
Do you also see them from your parents?
Young people often see their parents’ mistakes very clearly, but how do you deal with them?
And above all… do you also see your own mistakes?
Jotham saw the great mistake in father Uzziah’s life.
He saw the increasing pride and arrogance and Jotham also knew how God punished his father for it.
Jotham learns a lot from this, in the Bible we read about the new king: “Jotham did what was right (good) in the eyes of the Lord!”
Jotham takes over his father’s good habits, but not the faults and sins.
Your parents want to see that you get it right in life.
All the best to you, parents do not hope that their own mistakes will be imitated by their children.
So Jotham is clearly different from his father, Jotham trusts in the Lord and lives close to Him.
The king remains modest and dependent, which means that Jotham knows that he needs the Lord daily and cannot live without Him.
This requires constant prayer.
Do you personally know such a relationship with Jesus?
Keep talking to the Lord.
“Is this decision according to Your will?”
