When you make a decision to give your life to the Lord, it's such a transforming event that it's feels like you're always going to be overwhelmed with devotion to Him. But, putting faith into practice isn't easy when problems and spiritual warfare continue to come. As we'll see today, the people of Judah continue to make progress in their commitment to God, giving generously to Him and getting rid of anything that would be offensive to the Lord. Little by little, as you reject your old ways, you'll mature spiritually because of that obedience. Give generously of yourself in service to Him, and He'll be faithful to you.
