Good King-Bad King

As I am reading through the Bible in 90 Days I am enjoying getting a bigger picture of God's story through His word. This week I have been reading through 1 and 2 Kings and have been impressed at how the kings were described as either

Good

Did right in the sight of the Lord

....Just as their father did....

....no one like him before or after

....held fast to the Lord....

But:

Did not destroy the high places

or

Did evil in the eyes of the Lord

...Sinned more than all those before him...

...considered it trivial to commit sin...

....would not listen

stiff necked

did not trust in the Lord

followed countless idols

did not turn from sins

....sacrificed their sons and daughters....

As I read about these kings (39 of them) only 8 were recorded as GOOD kings.

It is eye opening to me to think:

How will I be described at the end of my life....

Am I wholeheartedly seeking the Lord, trusting Him,

or am I stiff necked.....

following him BUT....not in certain areas of my life????

I think it can be overwhelming to think about a lifetime of following after the Lord...

but this passages remind me that I want my life to honor the Lord in ALL aspects.....

By crying out to Him daily and depending on HIM... to help me

Honor Him

Trust Him

Walk with Him.
