I Kings 8:57-58, 61 NKJV
May the Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us, that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers. Let your heart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”

Shalom! Day #161. Do you know that when we incline our hearts to God and always draw closer to Himself, you will literally have the attitude of seriousness and a loyal heart to God? Let's pray. Father, draw us close to You, and never let us go on our own ways, the ways of destruction. Lord cultivate in us a pure, sincere and a loyal heart towards You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, Amen!
In James 4:8 NKJV it is written that "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded." As I've mentioned always, God is only interested in your heart. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. The word incline means : to bend forward or to cause (something) to bend forward, to lean or slope, to cause (someone) to want to do something or to be likely to do something. To incline our hearts to God means to lean or to bend our hearts towards God and His statutes. We must bend or lean our hearts to God and obey His commandments and walk according to His ways. Right now, I can say that this generation, they given or shall I say they have "sold" their hearts to the world and not fully given to God.
Today's verse stated that " Let your heart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God.." Be loyal to one master and not many. Be loyal to God and not mammon. God is interested in your hearts being loyal and faithful towards Him and not to the world. He seek out your heart, He is reaching out to your hearts today, so that He can have that special relationship with you. The Lord says in Matthew 7:24 NKJV “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:" "Whoever hears these saying of Mine..." it means whether you are a believer or unbeliever, if you incline your hearts to God and listen to His voice and commandments therefore all your ways shall be blessed. This is an invitation to everyone, not just believers. When you draw yourself to God, abide in Him and continue to live and walk according to all His ways, therefore you shall prosper in every ways of your life. Repent, return, rebuild in the Lord.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
