Reflections On The Scripture: This verse from 2 Chronicles recounts a fundamental transition of leadership from Jotham to his son Ahaz. In our own lives, we undergo numerous transitions, some as significant as the one mentioned in this verse. God recognizes these changes and urges us to trust in His provision throughout them all. We take comfort in knowing that despite the earthly transitions that happen, God's potent reign is continual and unchanging. In every change, we must remember to seek His guidance, as Ahaz may have sought God in the beginning of his reign. Just as Jotham served his purpose and then was succeeded by his son Ahaz, we too have been placed on this earth for a purpose. Once our time is done, we will be taken to our heavenly home, while God's everlasting kingdom continues.
