"Only..."

1 Kings 3:3

"And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places."

Only...

The "however", the "except", the "but", the "and yet".

James 2:10

"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

It should be every Christian's desire to live a righteous and pleasing life to God, all the whole realizing that only He is truly righteous. We are called to be like Christ, holy as He is holy, yet the fulfillment of that will only come after this life has passed. Until then we see our own shortcomings and faults. Those areas of constant struggle and frustration with the flesh.

Realizing those areas is the first step in addressing them. We cannot shrug our shoulders and say, "Oh well, at least everything else is right in my life." The Christian life is constant battle in the midst of unspeakable peace of Christ's salvation. What is displeasing to our Lord should receive our full attention as we strive to be holy as He is holy.

What is that "only" in my life? The one sin I can't seen to let go? Or perhaps I do not see it? Ask God to show you, and then do all you can in His power to remedy the issue.
