"As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been." ~
1 Kings 11:4
That verse hit me like a ton of bricks as I was reading the other day. I'd seen it before, but never in the way I had seen it that day. It's as if God had opened my eyes to something that had been previously hidden from me.
I've always known that "it was all about the heart" when it came to God. David was a man after God's own heart, and at one time, Solomon was too. But as Solomon grew older the Bible says, "His wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was no longer fully devoted to God."
This tells me 3 things about what kind of heart God wants....
I've included all 3 things on my blog. Stop by and take a look and see if I've missed any.
