Little children have amazing curiosity. Everything is new and exciting to them. They will come across the most ordinary thing on the ground, and find in it an amazing story. As adults, a fare degree of curiosity has faded from our mindsets. We have made decisions about our values and they cloud every thought. Ideologies have hamstrung our leaders so that they are often unable to investigate and understand the truth. Personal experiences and environmental influences have clouded our thinking so that we are not open to the fundamental truths of life.
In I Chronicles 28:9 King David tells Solomon, “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.” We may be able to hide our selfish and wicked thoughts and plans from others, but God knows our hearts, plans, and thoughts. He will be found by those who sincerely seek Him, but He rejects those who reject Him. Let us be found walking close to God with our whole hearts and willing minds.
