Purpose of Heart
Put your whole heart into whatever you do for the best of Masters, the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice what the Bible says concerning the life and work of King Hezekiah. “And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God. And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered” (2 Chronicles 31:20-21).
May it be true of young people who love the Lord. Half-hearted Christians make poor servants, and we certainly do not want to be poor servants for the Master.
We read of another young man: “Daniel purposed in his heart” (Daniel 1:7). Someone has aptly said: “Purpose of heart is a desire where the affections are motivated by an object.”
When Barnabas visited Antioch, we read: “Who when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord” (Acts 11:23).
