“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: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.” - 1 Chronicles 28v9
As David was commissioning his son David to build the temple he told him to serve the Lord with a “loyal heart and a willing mind.” The reason was so simple – “God searches all hearts and He understands all the intents of the minds.”
Just going through the action of serving God is not enough – He expects is to serve not just on the surface, but with a right motivation. Anyone can do a work in the flesh; the question is can we serve God with the right heart and mind. We cannot “fool” God; He already knows our motivation.
Let us not be content to just do the work, lets strive to do it with a loyal heart and a willing mind.
