A PERFECT HEART AND A WILLING MIND.
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts⦠(1 Chronicles 28:9).
Whatever you do for the Lord, the heart from where it comes, and the attitude with which you carry it out, matters. God searches all hearts, and understands all the thoughts and goings-on of our minds. So, He seeks a perfect heart and a willing mind. He said in 2 Corinthians 8:12, βFor if there be first a willing mind, it is acceptedβ¦.β
Remember what the Bible says of Amaziah the king; he did what was right in the sight of God but not with a perfect heart (2 Chronicles 25:2). But howβs your heart going to be right with God? Howβs your mind going to be willing? Itβs through the Word. A heart thatβs perfect and willing is one thatβs yielded to the Word; sanctified, renewed and under the sway of the Spirit through the Word.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:6, βFor God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our heartsβ¦.β How did He do it? Itβs through the Word! His Word illumines our hearts to know His will. Then it says in Romans 12:2, βAnd be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.β You wouldnβt know Godβs mind; His thoughts and opinions, His perfect will concerning anything if you donβt know His Word.
Thatβs the reason you must study and know the Scriptures for yourself. Jesus said, β…Ye do err, not knowing the scripturesβ¦β (Matthew 22:29). If you want to serve God rightly, then get to know the Word. Itβs about the Scriptures getting into your spirit and culturing your mind. Give more attention to studying the Scriptures for the wisdom and insight of the Spirit, by which He gives you guidance on how to serve God truly, with a pure heart, and a willing mind.
CONFESSION
I have a heart that loves the Lord, to serve Him truly, and to please Him always. And by the Word, my attitude to God and to service in His Kingdom is inspired by, and reflects His love. Always, and in all circumstances, the mind of God is revealed to me through the Word, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
