Listen and obey

2 Chronicle 31;1-21
 What Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. In everything that he undertook in the service of God’s temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered.
The whole chapter is an additional to the Kings account. The reform even extent into the old northern kingdom.
The laws governing worship and the support of the priests are reintroduced. The sheers volume of produce raised by the gifts for the priests and tithes. Special care is taken to see that it is property distributed.
Why?
Seek the Lord and work wholeheartedly is be blessed from the Lord and could be prospered.
Seek: Care the heart of the Lord and his way
Work: Action to obey the words of the Lord, it is not study it and understand it only, but the behavior to honor the Lord. Before the action consider is it coincident to the way of the Lord.
How?
Listen and do it for the Lord!
