“After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those who set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers.” – 2 Chronicles 11:16
When I read this verse, I am reminded of the importance of setting our hearts to seek the Lord wholeheartedly, just as the people of Israel did. Their willingness to sacrifice and worship God in Jerusalem demonstrates their commitment and devotion to Him.
2 Chronicles 11:16 reflects the power of intentional seeking of God’s presence in our lives. As Christians, we can apply this verse by making a conscious effort to prioritize seeking the Lord daily through prayer, reading His Word, and worshipping Him. By setting our hearts on Him, we can experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from drawing near to God.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, help us to set our hearts to seek You above all else. May our worship and sacrifices be pleasing to You, and may we always find our joy and satisfaction in Your presence. Guide us in our daily walk with You, that we may grow closer to You each day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
