“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.”
1 Chronicles 28:9 KJV
Here was David introducing Solomon to be king after him, telling him to serve God with a perfect heart since God searches all hearts and understands all the imaginations of the heart. Thank God for the Holy Spirit Who bears with us even in the deepest thoughts & imaginations of our hearts, nothing is hidden from Him, not even our inner motives. He makes our hearts perfect as we make ourselves transparent before Him in our relationship with Him. He never condemns us but brings us to conviction of walking in His way. Sometimes we feel we may have gone off track but like the Shepherd Who left the ninety nine to retrieve that one off track sheep, He comes after us & restores us. We honour Him for restoring our hearts to be made perfect to serve Him. Be therefore perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect!
