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… (1
Chronicles 28:9).
Whatever you do for the Lord, the heart from where it comes, and the attitude with which you carry it out,
matters. God searches all hearts, and understands all the thoughts and goings-on of our minds. So, He seeks a
perfect heart and a willing mind. He said in 2 Corinthians 8:12, “For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted….”
Remember, what the Bible says of Amaziah the king; he did what was right in the sight of God but not with
a perfect heart (2 Chronicles 25:2). But how’s your heart going to be right with God? How’s your mind going to be
willing? It’s through the Word. A heart that’s perfect and willing is one that’s yielded to the Word, sanctified,
renewed and under the sway of the Spirit through the Word.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:6, “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath
shined in our hearts….” How did He do it? It’s through the Word! His Word illumines our hearts to know His will.
Then it says in Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your
mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” You wouldn’t know God’s
mind; His thoughts and opinions, His perfect will concerning anything if you don’t know His Word.
That’s the reason you must study and know the Scriptures for yourself. Jesus said, “Ye do err, not knowing
the scriptures….” If you want to serve God rightly, then get to know the Word. It’s about the Scriptures getting into
your spirit and culturing your mind. Give more attention to studying the Scriptures for the wisdom and insight of the
Spirit, by which He gives you guidance on how to serve God truly, with a pure heart, and a willing mind.

Prayer

I have a heart that loves God, to serve Him truly, and to please Him always. And by the Word, my attitude
to God and to service in His Kingdom is inspired by and reflects His love. Always, and in all circumstances, the
mind of God, is revealed to me through the Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
