Is God enough for you? One phrase that we have often heard in the book of Kings is that "his heart was wholly true to the LORD" (15:14) Or – in contrast – "his heart was not wholly true to the LORD" (15:4) The word "shalem" has the same root as "shalom" (peace) and it means "complete, full, perfect." "His heart was complete in the LORD" It was used of Solomon – both positively in 1 Kings 8:61, and negatively after he was drawn away by his foreign wives in 1 Kings 11:4. We will only hear it used one more time: of Hezekiah, who walked before the LORD with a heart that was wholly true to the LORD (2 Kings 20:3) Is your heart wholly true to the LORD? Does your heart rest complete and content in him? Our problem is that we are too much like our fathers...
