FAITH CAPSULE: Doing right continually is with a loyal heart.

2Chronicles 25

Doing right before God but not maintaining right before God is evidence of a lack of a loyal heart.
What kind of a believer are you before God?
Man can demonstrate deception, but not God.
Do not do right with no commitment to God as a way of life, evidence of a loyal heart.
Acclaimed believers are doing right without maintaining doing right before God is evidence of no loyal heart in the sight of God.
Today, continual wickedness reduces acclaimed believers and unbelievers with no loyal heart.
Amaziah is one that did right before God but was not loyal before God. 2Chronicles 25:1-2 records, “Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a loyal heart.”
For example, one is right before God accepting Jesus as the Lord and savior but not loyal in the sight of God.
Many are right to come out regularly to worship God in the church but not loyal in the sight of God.
Does that sound like you? 
2Chronicles 25:3-4 records about Amaziah that was right, “Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established for him, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king. However, he did not execute their children but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin.” 
Amaziah carefully obeyed the Law in the book of Moses, which counts as doing right in the sight of God.
For Amaziah, the lack of a loyal heart in the sight of God is evident after winning a battle against the Edomites.
It was a battle he would not have been able to win, but the divine intervention of God gave victory to him and Judah when they defeated the Edomites. 
After his victory, “he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them. Therefore the anger of the Lord was aroused against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought the gods of the people, which could not rescue their own people from your hand?” (2Chronicles 25:14-15) 
Amaziah was unwilling to listen to the prophet sent by God.  
Amaziah could not maintain a loyal heart for God that won him battle.
Today, many answers as Amaziah doing right in the sight of God but with no loyal heart before God. 
Be committed to God doing right and maintaining a loyal heart in the sight of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live right with a loyal heart before God.
