2 Kings 10:28-31 (NKJV) 28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal from Israel. 29 However Jehu did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of\u00a0Nebat, who had made Israel sin, that is, from the golden calves that were at Bethel and Dan. 30 And the Lord said to Jehu, \u201cBecause you have done well in doing what is right in My sight, and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.\u201d 31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart; for he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel sin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You see, Jehu did a lot of good things as King. He destroyed Baal. That was huge!<\/p>\n

And because of that, God gave his sons the throne for four (4) generations.<\/p>\n

However, what Jehu did was not enough for God. He wanted Jehu\u2019s whole heart.<\/p>\n

You see, Jehu did what was right in God\u2019s sight.\u00a0But zeal with an undevoted heart is not equal to having\u00a0a heart after God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God wants us all to Himself.<\/p>\n

Maybe we are saying \u201c,well, I have dedicated my life to Him already, but I\u2019m not as close to Him as I would like. And I feel Him tugging on me to come closer, to spend more time, and let go of even more things. But can I and will I do this? I don\u2019t know if I have it in me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It can be hard for our minds to grasp that\u00a0God, Who\u00a0is omnipotent, omnipresent\u00a0and omniscient, wants us closer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We know we are sinners, saved only by grace. We are always messing up one way or another,\u00a0constantly trying to just get through each day.<\/p>\n

Why would He want all of us, with our faults and shortcomings, when He can have everything else?<\/p>\n

If all of creation worships Him, why does He want all of me-too?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Well, the answer is given clearly in His word. He simply does! He wants all of you and all of me to love Him more than anything. Exodus 34:13 (NKJV) He is a jealous God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Would we commit our whole heart to Him today and live out each day for Him\u00a0the best we can?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s really all He asks, to keep trying and to win this race that is before us, loving Him with our whole heart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hebrews 12:1 (NKJV) 1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jehu, with all his zeal, got the throne for his sons for four (4) generations. But, wouldn\u2019t we rather hear God say, \u201cwell done good and faithful servant.; you loved Me to the end with all of your heart.\u201d?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV) 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What will it be?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
