Set Your Mind and Heart
September 30th, 2009David’s prayer in today’s lesson expresses a universal human longing to know God and to sustain that knowledge through worship and devotion:
17 I know, my God, that you search the heart, and take pleasure in uprightness; in the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you.
18 O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our ancestors, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people, and direct their hearts toward you.
19 Grant to my son Solomon that with single mind he may keep your commandments, your decrees, and your statutes, performing all of them, and that he may build the temple for which I have made provision.” 1 Chron 29:17-19 (NRSV)
We’ve never been able to do this on our own. The first step to a lasting relationship is to prayer for his help.
