I want no "only"
Posted on December 8, 2009 by Pastor Tom
I was reading today about the beginning of King Solomon’s reign. You know Solomon, the wisest king ever? Well here’s what 1 Kings 3:3 says “Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father, ONLY (capitals mine) he sacrificed and made offerings at the high places.”
Right from the start, Solomon lived a compromised faith. Sacrificing at high places meant sacrificing to other gods. He did that right through his reign. It’s like the Lord was his God in Jerusalem but outside the city he served other gods.
Sometimes, I might live like Solomon. “I love you Lord, only let me have this part of my life for myself.” Lord, I want no “only” attached after my name. Please strengthen me!
