Scripture
1 Chronicles 28:9 “And Solomon, my son, get to know the God of your ancestors. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the lord sees every heart and understands and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him.
Observation
This is David’s last instructions to his son Solomon who will succeed him as king.
1) Get to know God
2) Worship him will all your heart and a willing mind
3) Serve him with all your heart and a willing mind.
4) God sees every heart.
5) God knows every plan and thought
6) Seek him, and you will find him
The key to Solomon’s success as king was his relationship with God. It was not his leadership skills or knowledge. It was not his ability in human relations. It was his relationship with God. If Solomon sought God, God would make him successful. If Solomon was faithful to God, God would make him successful.
Application
The key to my success in life is my relationship with God. Everything is found there. My relationship with God is the key to being a good husband, father, friend, and pastor. I need to seek him more. The promise is that I will find God and if I find God I receive everything that comes with him. His power is found in him. His healing is found in him. His provision in found in him. When I find God, I discover everything I need in life.
Prayer
I seek you today. I acknowledge my need of you. I desire to find you. Everything else can wait. Nothing else is important in comparison. You are my everything. I need you and I desire you
