Knowing God - 1 Chronicles 28:9

(from Pastor)

...know the God of your father,

and serve him with single mind and willing heart;

for the Lord searches every mind,

and understands every plan and thought.

If you seek him, he will be found by you;

but if you forsake him, he will abandon you forever.

1 Chronicles 28:9

 

Three things:

 

1. "Seek" God.

2. "Know" God.

3. "Serve" God.

 

This advice -- King David's to his son, Solomon -- could be the three most important things in life. And he expounds on it in helpful ways ...

 

1. Seek God ... because "he will be [and wants to be] found by you."

 

2. Know God ... because if the creator of the universe cares enough to "understand[] every plan and thought [of yours], why wouldn't you want to know every thought and plan of his?!

 

3. Serve God ... and not half-heartedly. Serve him "willing[ly]," from the "heart," and with a "single[ness]" of purpose.

 

In Christ's Love,

a guy who needs to be like King David

and give this advice to his sons

Where does believe fit in this?  How do you bridge the head to heart gap? Or is this where 'fake it 'til ya make it' applies?
