Thankful for a fully committed heart!
Scripture reading for April 4th: 1st Kings 11-15
Key Scriptures: 1st Kings 15:11-15 “Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as his father David had done. He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his fathers had made. He even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive Asherah pole. Asa cut the pole down and burned it in the Kidron valley. Although he did not remove the high places, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the Lord all his life.”
The book of Kings recorded the lives of leaders that followed King David in leading Israel. Many of them went astray. King Asa, however, followed in David’s footsteps and did right in God’s eyes. He rid the land of idols and even removed his own grandmother from a position of prominence because of idolatry. His heart was “fully committed to the Lord!”
Thankful for Jesus’ full commitment: Jesus Christ, Son of God and son of David, was fully committed to God! “Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. I have brought You glory on earth by completing the work You gave me to do.” (John 17:3-4)
