Serving Heart
1 Samuel 12:24
But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.
This is just a couple of verses after yesterday's heart, and it is in the same speech. Though Israel made a bad decision in demanding a king, it wasn't a fatal decision, and the fundamentals of life remained the same:
Do not turn to useless idols.
God is faithful for the sake of His own character.
The concepts of right and good remain and are teachable.
Fear the Lord.
Serve Him faithfully. . .with all your heart.
One way to look at this is putting politics in its place. I pay too much attention to what is going on--useless idols. And too little to serving faithfully with all my heart.
