📖✝ BIBLE MEDITATION No:- 1,126 💚 March 10, 2024 💚 Sunday 💚
"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." (1 Chronicles 28:9)
Today's
meditation verse is David's advice to his son Solomon about knowing the Lord,
the God of our ancestors, and living for Him. The first thing David says in
this verse is, "We must know the Lord and serve him." Not knowledge
of God; rather, we should know God first.
We
can only learn about God by studying in theological colleges, listening to
sermons, and studying in Sunday classes. But one can know Him only by
developing a personal relationship with Him. David advises his son Solomon to
develop a relationship with God and serve Him.
Next,
he tells us why we should know him. That is, He “searcheth all hearts and
understands all the imaginations of the thoughts." Yes, beloved, we cannot
deceive the Lord. He knows all the memories in our hearts. He searches our
hearts and knows. He knows why we seek Him.
A
man who truly loves a woman loves only that woman and does not count the
dowries she brings. Similarly, a person who truly loves God wants Him to be
with him. God knows the thoughts of man. And only he who seeks God with that
mind knows the higher things of the spirit.
The
third important point is what David says. He says, If you seek him, he will be
found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off for ever."
This
was fulfilled in Solomon's life. When he lived in search of God, God appeared
to him. Twice, he appeared to Solomon. Despite that, Solomon, who was engrossed
in sexual desire, liked and accepted 1,000 women as wives and concubines.
Despite God's prohibition against marrying women of other castes, he defied it
and married many women of other castes.
"For
it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart
after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was
the heart of David his father." (1 Kings 11:4)
"And
Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD and went not fully after the LORD, as
did David his father." (1 Kings 11:6) Therefore, as David said, "If
you forsake him, he will forsake you forever." God abandoned Solomon.
Therefore,
dear ones, it is necessary that we serve Him with a pure heart and an
enthusiastic mind. It is true that He is said to search all hearts and know all
forms of memory. No one needs to tell him about us. He knows everything.
"And needed not that any should testify of man, for he knew what was in
man." (John 2:25)
Let's
be careful not to be carried away by memories and actions. If we seek Him,
He will be found; if we forsake Him, He will forsake us forever.
