2 Chronicles 25:1-2
Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, yet not with a whole heart.
Amaziah starts off as a good king. He does what’s right and even succeeds in battle, but he falls into idol worship and throws everything down the drain. It all started because he did not do what was right with his whole heart.
I think that passage, along with many others, speaks for its self. God reminds us over and over in the scriptures that He wants our whole heart. I wear a necklace almost 24/7 that says passion. It’s a daily reminder to me to do God’s work, and do it with passion. When we lose that passion, when we’re not doing God’s will with our whole heart, then we’re doomed to fail like Amaziah.
Don’t lose your passion. Find what God wants you to do and do it with all your heart, mind, and strength.
