2 Kings 12-14
What God said to me – Character is important. I expect those who are Mine to walk in faithfulness and righteousness even when no one is watching. The way you act when no one is watching is an indication of your true character. Jehoash “did right in the sight of the Lord all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.” The problem was as soon as the priest died, Jehoash moved away from Me. What about you? Do you walk with Me when others are watching and go your own way when you are alone? Don’t you know “I AM” always watching? You must determine that your behavior is not based on who sees or doesn’t see you, but on your desire to please Me. Set your heart on pleasing Me at all times. Your wholeheartedness is more pleasing to Me than the actual service performed.
