Vacillating Victors

Amaziah did what was pleasing to the Lord but not wholeheartedly. (2Ch 25:2) I suspect that describes most of us. Uzziah was the same way. He followed the Lord initially, but when he became powerful, he also became proud (2Ch 26:16). Jonah had periods of personal revival, but in the end he remained selfish and angry at God. Wholehearted, lifelong discipleship is a difficult thing. Not many pull it off. Thank God that we do not earn our salvation. “Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.” (Mark 9:24)
