Driven

2 Kings 9:20 The lookout reported, “He has reached them, but he isn’t coming back either. The driving is like that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a maniac.” Jehu had been called by God to "cleanse the land". Both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel and Judah had strayed far from God, led by lousy leaders. As he approached where the two kings were gathered he would not be stopped. Three servants had been sent out to check his intentions - all three were told to shut up and join him, which they did. He would not be deterred from what God had called him to do; he was driven. How driven are we to obey God. Are we willing to be considered maniacs? Bible-thumpers? A Peculiar people? (Disclaimer: Crazy driving does not count...)
