I Kings 8: 58
"That He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers."
This is part of King Solomon's dedication of the Temple he built, following his father King David's blueprints.
If only the people would have continued in God's ways!
But we all tend to follow our own ways, our natural instincts that lie to us and draw us away from God's good ways for us.
May God "incline our hearts to Himself," take the initiative to turn our hearts and attitudes toward His righteousness and love for one another.
To draw us into that warm, intimate relationship with Himself that He wants us all to have.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
