2 Chronicles 15:12 KJV
And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
While Asa's pride got him in trouble later in his life, this was a man who had a heart for the Lord and to get God's people to have the same heart. I am reminded that even the very best of us can turn from the Lord if we are not very careful.
What a testimony this is though, and what a goal for the people of God to enter into a covenant, an agreement together to seek (the word can mean follow or ask but I liked the other words tread and especially frequent this morning. I want to frequent place where God is) the Lord, not just a little but with all of their heart (intellectually and affectionately) and the soul (the breath - vitality; labor)
God grant that we seek you with all of our mind all of our affections and all of our being.
