The kings who pleased Jehovah worshipped him with a complete heart. Good King Jehoshaphat "searched for Jehovah with all his heart." (2 Chronicles 22:9) Speaking of Josiah, the inspired record says: "There was no king like him prior to him, who returned to Jehovah will all his heart." (2 Kings 23:25) What about Solomon, who in his later years did what was bad? "His heart was not complete. (1 Kings 11:4) And regarding Abijam, another unfaithful king, the Bible record states: "His heart was not complete with Jehovah." - 1 Kings 15:3.
What does it mean, then, to serve Jehovah with a complete heart? A person with a complete heart does not go just through the motions of worshipping God. Rather, he serves out of love and devotion. Furthermore, he maintains that love and devotion throughout his life.
