Unswerving in carrying of the commands and laws of the Lord

1 Chronicles 28:1-10
David declared his plan to build house of God to all the officials of Israel whom was assembled at Jerusalem.
God said to David:'Solomon our son is the one who will build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son and I will be his father. I will establish his kingdom forever if he is unswerving堅定不移 in carrying of my commands and laws, as is being done at this time.'
David told Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with whole hearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
The story interrupted by the lists at 23:2 is now piked up again. A formal public assembly marks Solomons' official coronation加冕, after the hasty affair of 1 Kings, David presents his son to the people and gives him a solmn莊嚴 charge before committing the plans for the temple to his care.
Why?
David publicly marks Solomons' official coronation to confirm his authority over Israel, and reminds all that unswerving in carrying of the commands and laws of the Lord is the essential foundation.
Yes, seek the Lord, he will be found by you.
Whole heart devotion: do not keep any small part to devote the God. Give authority of mine to the Lord. Let God be my Lord.
Willing mind: be joyful and lovely to do the service for the Lord.
How?
Serve the Lord with whole hearted devotion and with a willing mind. For the Lord searches every hearts and understands every motive behind the thoughts.
