Jotham King of Judah
1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother's name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the LORD. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the LORD and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel. 4 He built towns in the Judean hills and forts and towers in the wooded areas. 5 Jotham made war on the king of the Ammonites and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents [a] of silver, ten thousand cors [b] of wheat and ten thousand cors of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
6 Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the LORD his God.
It does not matter your age or race but if you walk "steadfastly before the Lord" you can do anything. God will bless you like never before. Don't ever feel like my time has past because you are older or your to young to accomplish a goal. Jotham was 25 years old running a Kingdom. People that are currently 25 won't even think about running for public office. Please know with God by your side you can do anything.
Love you all
You are in my prayers
