The Lord knows the intentions of your heart...!

I Chronicles 28:9-10, 20 NKJV

“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.” And David said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God—my God— will  be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord .

Shalom! Day #178. Do you know that the Lord has chosen you and He searches the heart and understands the intention of our thoughts? Let's pray. Father, thank You for chosen us. Lord, search our hearts and know our intentions that we may not serve You with our personal agenda, but with Your agenda. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

You should know this truth, that the Lord has chosen you and at the same time the Lord knows with what motives you are serving Him either with His agenda or we have our own agenda. The Lord chose us not because we are so good and talented,  but because of His grace and mercy towards us and that He wants us to fulfil His will and plans.

In today's verse, we read about all the instructions given by David to his son, Solomon. He is explaining to Solomon that it was the Lord who choses him to build the house for God. What a privilege. We are privileged to be chosen by God who has called us by our name to serve Him. Therefore we are to serve Him, with all our hearts and be loyal to Him. Single hearted and single minded. Apostle Paul says for me to live is Christ and to die is gain. He is able to declare such statement because he knows that it wasn't by his good conducts or by all the theological knowledge he has that the Lord has chosen him. But because of grace and mercy towards him. The calling of God upon your life isn't a temporary thing.  The fulfilment of your calling is when you accomplished the things the Lord has commanded you to do and till then He will never leave you nor forsakes you. So serve Him with all your heart because He knows the intentions of your heart.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
