The Lord his God

And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered. (2 Chron. 31:21)

I love that Hezekiah was a leader that fought for the spiritual health of his people.
I love that he called all Israel and Judah, & Ephraim and Manasseh, 'that they should come to the house of the LORD' (2 Chron. 30:1).
I love that he led his people to remove the altars that were in Jerusalem (v14).
I love that in bringing leadership to his people, he influenced them to bring Godly leadership to themselves, 'the whole assembly agreed together to keep the feast for another seven days. So they kept it for another seven days with gladness (v23).
I love that he called their attention to the Glory of the Lord, he called them, 'to minister in the gates of the camp of the Lord and to give thanks and praise' (31:2).
I love that he led his people to bring abundant offerings to the Lord, again, by asking them to nothing that he wasn't prepared to do himself, (31:3).
I love that his concern was not only for the priests, but for the priests and their whole family, 'They were enrolled with all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, the whole assembly, for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy' (31:18).

So why is it rare to read that Hezekiah, as opposed to many of the other Kings of Judah, 'did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God' (31:20)? Perhaps because the Lord was not just the Lord, but the 'Lord his God'. Leadership is not biblical leadership unless you lead from a revelation of the Lord 'your' God.

'And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered'. (2 Chron. 31:21)
