Psalms 119:10 "I seek You with all my heart......"
I had never thought about what "all my heart" really meant until now. A Bible dictionary says "all my heart" means with all of me; this includes the body, mind and soul. The "body" is the carnal/flesh part of man, the "mind" is that part of man that thinks, and the "soul" is the spiritual and immortal part of man.
I thought I was seeking God with "all my heart" when I read my Bible and prayed. How could my body seek God? By recognizing sin and turning away from it. The Bible says, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1)
How could my mind seek God? By making sure my thoughts are on God. The Bible says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Thank you God for using the simple phrase "all my heart" to challenge me to serve you, desire you, and live for you.
