A Pepared Heart

II Chronicles 12:14 " And He is evil because He prepared not his heart to seek the Lord."

As you well know that it is possible to do evil while considering yourself as a Christian. I am not sure if that was the case here but, I do know that Rehoboam did evil.

You know the Bible didn't mention that Rehoboam was wicked because of what he did, but rather what he did not do. He did not prepare his heart.

A Prepared Heart is:

Saved
Romans 10:9

Sanctified
Romans 12:1-2

Willing to be sent
Jesus is our perfect example of being willing to be sent.

Before you start the day make sure you prepare your heart, it could be that God could use you in a special way today. But so many times we can't be used because we have not prepared our heart.

If you are a missionary next time you go to complain about deputation, be careful because this is a time when God is molding and shaping you into what you need to be.
