Our Scripture reading today is 1 Chronicles 28:9, "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: if thou seek him,
he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever."
God knows the imaginations of our hearts. This truth should be sobering to us. We
need to use God's Word to guard and guide our thoughts. The context is in
relation to our serving. Do we serve God with the right motives? Do we serve out
of obligation or out of a love for God? God knows the answer.
Every child of God ought to be serving Him in some way. How are you serving God?
Our service for the LORD should come from a willingness and not out of duty. If we
love God, we will serve God.
