2 Chronicles 17:3-4 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim; But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
Jehoshaphat was one of the best kings of Judah, and his reign was blessed with peace and prosperity. God’s blessing was a direct result of his seeking the Lord and not the Baals, and because he walked in the ways of David and the Commandments. To seek the Lord is to believe Him and worship Him alone with all the heart. To walk in His ways is to have a sincere desire to do God’s will and keep His Law.
We will fail to walk perfectly for sure, but we live in instant and constant repentance, believing in Christ and His forgiveness. The important meaning of seeking is to firmly believe in Jesus Christ; and the meaning of walking is to actually live according to His Word by that faith. The Holy Spirit plants the faith in the heart through the Gospel; and the Spirit stays with us so that we live in obedience by granting the motivation and ability to live by that faith.
When we seek the Lord and walk His ways, we will enjoy the peace and joy and all the spiritual riches in the kingdom of God’s abundant grace and blessing. Our soul prospers and Life is good!
