• Strength always accompanies obedience; but it becomes a snare when we consider it as our strength. This is what happened to Uzziah: "He was marvelously helped, till he became strong" (2 Chron. 26:15). In contrast to Uzziah, Jotham saw his strength fully maintained, because he "prepared his ways before Jehovah his God." (“Jotham: 2 Chronicles 27” by H.L. Rossier)
• Jotham prepared his way according to the thoughts God had expressed concerning His Anointed; he sought to be like this God-given model and he succeeded. (“Jotham: 2 Chronicles 27” by H.L. Rossier)
• His strength had its source in his godliness, and godliness was precious enough to him to keep him from exalting himself. (“Jotham: 2 Chronicles 27” by H.L. Rossier)
