The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in 2 Chronicles 17:6a,
"His [Jehoshaphat] heart was devoted to the ways of the Lord..."
King Jehoshaphat, the fourth king of Judah following the split of the nation after King Solomon, was a godly and good king. "His heart was devoted to the ways of the Lord."
In his sermon on the mount Jesus said, "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Matthew 6:24. Jehoshaphat chose God.

If what Jesus had to say is true, and I certainly believe it is, then I need to be singular in what I devote myself to, and the object of my devotion needs to be the Lord.
Is not today a wonderful day to take stock? To what am I devoted to?
