He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the things of God; and as long as he sought (inquired of, yearned for) the Lord, God made him prosper.
2 Chronicles 26:5 - The Amplified Bible
We live in an impatient generation and people are always wanting everything to happen overnight. Too often even Christians are demanding it all come together in one night. You need to guard against this mentality of "I want to leap there!" You need to have the patience - the fortitude - to keep taking steps forward as God gives you them. Steady building, steady progress gives God the chance to marvelously help you until you come into His perfect well-being! Psa.37:23.
The Bible verse above is telling us about Uzziah, a king of Judah. It contains the wonderful declaration, "God made him prosper!" How did that happened? Well, it was linked to Uzziah seeking the Lord. Uzziah kept putting himself in a position to be prospered by continually seeking (enquiring of) the Lord. This is the way it will happen for you too. God's people have always prospered through seeking the Lord. Yearn for the Lord and enquire of the Lord and He will see to it that you prosper; He will instruct you by His Spirit on every step to make. Psa.5:12.
Note this about Uzziah's prosperity - it didn't come overnight! He prospered in steps forward, not leaps. Uzziah had to keep planning for and keep working on his success. He and his son Jotham were builders. They built up their kingdom and God marvelously helped them. Establishing a kingdom takes time. It takes time for God's kingdom to be established in you! 2 Chron.26:15, 27:6
Be a builder under the Lord's guidance
