EXCEPT
Today's reading:  1 Kings 1-4

"Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the instructions of his father, David, except..."  1 Kings 3:3 NLT

What about you?

You love the Lord.  You attend church.  You fulfill obligations to your family.  You own a Bible and read it on occasion.  You give to the church.

But we all have those things we aren't doing or aren't giving up that He has asked us to deal with.

They are our 'excepts'.

They will keep us from experiencing the complete and full joy of the Lord.

Is what you're holding back on worth it?
