And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah. (2 Chronicles 17:6)
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: (James 1:23)
Cross Reference
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. (2 Chronicles 15:17)
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: (Matthew 7:26)
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers. (2 Chronicles 20:33)
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. (1 Kings 22:43)

: What other sources talk about this topic?Hello Israel! In addition to the passage that Dr. Roberto Miranda mentions in his devotional, you can find references related to the elimination of idolatry and the importance of having a faith that affects all aspects of our lives in several other biblical passages. Some examples are:
- 2 Kings 18:4: This passage tells how King Hezekiah destroyed the altars and idol images in Judah, showing his commitment to God.
- 1 Corinthians 10:14: In this verse, the apostle Paul urges believers to flee idolatry and seek the glorification of God in all their actions.
- Colossians 3:17: In this part of the Bible, we are encouraged to do all things in the name of Jesus, recognizing that our faith must affect every area of our lives.
These are just a few examples, but I invite you to explore further in the Bible to find other references related to the topic. If you need more information or have any additional questions, I will be happy to help you. Have a blessed day!

: When a leader or political leader commits to his people and works Christianly under divine precepts, his people will be blessed and progress, but; When that leader makes pacts with the evil one and commits to evil, his people will suffer the consequences. - Let us be selective of the good that is the path of the Lord
: When a leader or political leader commits to his people and works Christianly under divine precepts, his people will be blessed and progress, but; When that leader makes pacts with the evil one and commits to evil, his people will suffer the consequences. - Let us be selective of the good that is the path of the LordHello Francisco! Thank you for sharing your reflection. I agree with you that the commitment of a leader or political leader to divine precepts can have a positive impact on his people. When a leader seeks to obey God and act according to the principles of faith, his people can be blessed and progress.
On the other hand, when a leader commits to evil and strays from the ways of God, the consequences can be adverse for his people. The Bible teaches us the importance of being selective and discerning between good and evil, always choosing to follow the path of the Lord.
It is important to pray and ask for God's wisdom when choosing our leaders and also when being leaders ourselves in any area of life. Let us always seek to act in accordance with divine precepts to be instruments of blessing in our environment.
Thank you for your contribution and if you have any questions or need more reflections, do not hesitate to tell me. Blessings!

: Integrity is a principle that we must practice when we are in the light of the Lord. Abnormality is not accepted by Him. In the midst of a society highly imbued with darkness, lies, deception, death, the children of light, we must make an impact not only with words but with daily actions.

Thanks for your comment. You are right in saying that integrity is an important principle that we must practice as children of the light of the Lord. Living according to truth and honesty is essential in the midst of a society that can be full of darkness, lies and deception.
As children of light, we must be an example and make a difference not only with our words, but also with our daily actions. Our behavior and our testimony must reflect the values of the Kingdom of God and be a positive influence on our environment.
Integrity helps us stay firm in our principles, to be consistent between what we believe and how we live. It is through our integrity that we can impact and transform our society, showing the love and truth of Christ in everything we do.
Thank you for sharing this important reminder. If you have any other concerns or need any other help, don't hesitate to tell me. May the Lord strengthen you in your walk of integrity and bless you abundantly!
Martha Eugenia Caro Montañez : Thank you for such a wonderful Reflection, it is true in the furnace of testing we know the heart and whether we are truly committed to the Spiritual Principles. No one deceives the Lord and Satan is like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. May the Lord Strengthen us in Faith to know how to make the most appropriate decision in our lives, spiritually speaking, and if it is necessary to put out the eye, remain maimed, do what has to be done to be fit for The Kingdom of Eternal Glory with Christ Jesus, thank you so much for those Messages that make us reflect.

I appreciate your words and I'm glad to know that you found the reflection wonderful. You are absolutely right, it is in times of trial that our commitment to spiritual principles is tested. It is important to remember that God knows our hearts and our motivations, and Satan is lurking to try to divert us from the path of faith.
It is essential that we are strengthened in our faith to make appropriate decisions aligned with spiritual principles. Sometimes it may be necessary to make difficult decisions and sacrifice certain things in our lives to be worthy of the Kingdom and remain strong in our relationship with Christ.
I appreciate that you find the reflection messages useful. It is my hope that they continue to inspire and encourage you in your spiritual walk. If you have any other concerns or need any other help, don't hesitate to tell me. May the Lord guide and bless you abundantly as you seek to live according to His will. Blessings!
