2 Samuel 6:1-23; Nahum 1:1-15; Romans 13:1-14
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind. 1 Chronicles 28:9
What is a perfect heart? One that is just, characterized by peace and quiet. The heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked, yet the work of Christ through the Holy Spirit can give us a perfect heart. Once that takes place we have the opportunity to serve the Saviour with a heart filled with love and compassion and a willing mind. —Wm. H. Gustafson
True-hearted, whole-hearted, faithful and loyal,
King of our lives, by Thy grace we will be.
Under Thy standard exalted and royal,
Strong in Thy strength we will battle for Thee. —Frances R. Havergal
