The book of Kings is an amazing book,
It clearly shows that we can be either faithful to Him or we are branded unfaithful.
Will share other bits in another post, but as of now just one thought:
What is/are your thought(s) on being zealous for the Lord? What are the preconditions?
An example is Jehu, an elect of Israel, who at the height of his campaigns - purging the nation of Ahab's seed & relations, made a statement, "come, and see my zeal for the Lord".
He surely fulfilled what He was called out, but later fell into the same traps.
So, (i maybe wrong) zeal isn't a right measure. It might be temporal, or a mere show.

- But a log, starts slowly, burns for long, gives out a lot of energy (CV), and is profitable.
