Reigning in Christ

“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
This was David’s prayer for his son Solomon before he died and Solomon came to reign.  This prayer becomes our promise because in the new covenant all the promises are Yes and Amen in Christ to the glory of God.  By the Blood of Jesus we have a new heart and a willing mind to serve God.  Even our mind is renewed to sanctify the imaginations of our heart to think in agreement with the Word of God, as we seek to do the perfect will of God in our lives.  Let’s be found in Christ to reign now and eternally because of His abundance of grace and gift of righteousness, not for the limited time that Solomon did, but forever and ever!
