No Exceptions

1 Kings 3

3a Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, except...

There it is. That word. Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, EXCEPT. God is not honored by our exceptions. God is not please with them, either. In fact, there can be no exceptions in our following of God and His commands. David had told Solomon to follow the Lord only and always. Solomon soon finds himself entangled in pagan practices because of the pagan wives and concubines he brings into his life. For someone who was so wise, Solomon, made a foolish, fatal mistake by allow exceptions in his walk with the Lord. Please, Father, help me to eliminate the exceptions in my life so that my walk with You can be closer than it ever has been in the past.
