A Perfect Heart.
"Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 2And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart." (2 Chronicles 25:1-2).
Amaziah was a great king of Israel whose life reveals many things. The Bible says that he did what was right before God but not with a perfect heart (2 Chronicles 25:1-2). In other words, he did the right things but not with loyalty. It is possible to do all the right things and still not get God's approval because of the wrong attitude or motive.
There are Christians who pride themselves on beings rebels or reformists of some sort. They may even make fun of others who are committed to a church or ministry, and form themselves into an opposition party that does nothing more than resist the authority in their church. It's time to ask yourself, "Who really am I? What kind of a Christian am I?"
What kind of attitude do you have to the things of God? What effect do you have on the people who come close to you? What kind of words come out of your mouth? What kind of service do you render to the Lord? With what heart do you do the things you do? Do you have a loyal heart? Are you after the things of the flesh or the things of the spirit? You ought to examine yourself truthfully in the light of God's Word.
It is sad to see many of God's people do what is right without loyalty; but loyalty is a virtue that every one of God's children has. It only remains for us to develop and use it. Jesus said a man's foes shall be they of his own household (Matthew 10:36). In churches where there are problems of strife and division, you will easily observe that the problems were not caused by outsiders, but by those in the church who were not loyal to the cause of the Gospel. Who are you, and how do you do your work for the Lord? Will your life be described like Amaziah's who did what was right but not with a loyal heart? Or would you rather be described like Daivd, who, though he made several blunders, still had the credentials of a man after God's heart with a repentant attitude? (Acts 13:22). It's your choice to make today.
