Bible Verse of The Day – 10-25-24

1 Chronicles 28:9 (NLT) 9 “And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

As David spoke with his son, Solomon, he was preparing him for his life ahead and his reign as king over God’s chosen people.

He told Solomon to “learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately.”

David was implying that Solomon must do more than just know who God is. He should become acquainted with Him, understand Him, and cherish Him, developing a relationship that goes beyond rituals and traditions.

David then gave Solomon some of the most important words of wisdom he could when he told Solomon to worship and serve God with his whole heart, and a willing mind.

The heart (the manner and attitude) with which we serve God speaks volumes about the strength and the nature of that relationship.

And this is why God places such importance on the condition of our heart.

Because out of it flow the springs of life.

Proverbs 4:23 (LSB) 23 Guard your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.

What is in our hearts comes out. It manifests itself in the things we say and the actions we take. It proves who we are.

Allowing God to guard our heart creates a place within us that God can nurture and develop, shaping and molding us in the way He can best use us, and which benefits us as well.

God sees our heart, and He knows every thought and every plan.

Let us do as David counseled Solomon; learn to know God intimately, worshiping and serving Him with our whole heart and a willing mind, that we may seek Him and find Him.
