Wholeheartedly

"...serve Him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind...."  1 Chronicles 28:9 (NIV)

What do you commit yourself to wholeheartedly ???  Your family?  Your job?  Your church?  Your favorite source of leisure or recreation?  Your devotion to God?  We are such a generation of multitaskers.  Can we even fathom the concept of wholehearted devotion?  Are we able to visualize what wholehearted devotion might look like?  Do we dare attempt verbalizing that we are wholeheartedly devoted to God...and to serving Him?  Is our mind "willing"??

We need to ask Him to help us.  We can't do it on our own.  We need to stay in His Word.  It will prod us on our way!  Deuteronomy 4:29 says, "...if you seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you look for Him with all your heart and with all your soul."  Deuteronomy 11:13 says, "...if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today - to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul" you will be blessed and satisfied...in Him. We find in Hebrews 11:6 that "...He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."  Let's seek Him with our whole hearts...all our soul...faithfully obeying...loving Him...serving Him!

Lord, we need You to help us!  Give us undivided hearts.  Guide us.  Give us willing minds.  We desire to seek you earnestly!  Draw us to Yourself.  We love You!
