Seeking God
1 Chronicles 28:9-21
And you, Solomon my son, know you the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind…


I. THE DUTY.

1. Whom are we to seek? God in Christ.

2. How must we seek Him?

(1)  Not in our own strength.

(2)  With an integrity of purpose and a singleness of determination.

(3)  By forsaking and standing aloof from the world; by putting down self and walking with a mortified spirit.

3. Where are we to seek Christ?

(1)  In the Scriptures.

(2)  In the sanctuary.

(3)  At the family altar.

(4)  In the secret exercises of prayer.

4. When are we to seek a God in Christ? Now.

5. Why are we to seek Christ?

II. THE ASSURANCE.

(T. J. Judkin, M. A.)

KJV: And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

WEB: You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
