In the end of our reading from 1 Chronicles we find David transferring his Kingship and the building of the Temple to his son Solomon. David had plenty of ups and downs in his life and his faith. But the principles he gave his son Solomon in 1 Chronicles 28:9 are principles we would be wise to follow today.
"And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.”
When we get to know God personally, learn his commands and discover what he wants us to do, when we worship & serve him with a whole heart and a willing mind our lives our filled with peace and joy. You would think that would be easy, seeking God. I find myself after this reading really desiring to seek God, to know him more fully. I want always to be found by Him.
How blessed we are to have a God whose love for us is so great. The same God of Abraham, David and Solomon is the same God of today. May we seek him always for there is no doubt he is ready to find us!
