The mind of the Lord

 
1 Chronicles 28:.9 “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.
 
If we're looking for an idea of how much we should love the Lord, we might start with a look at how much He loves us and how aware of us He is.  Notice in the passage from 1 Chronicles above that God not only knows all of our thoughts, as He searches our hearts, He knows the intent behind the thoughts.  If the Lord is that invested in knowing us, shouldn't we be keen on knowing Him?  The truly marvelous thing is that He lets us in on His thoughts too!
 
1 Corinthians 2:16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?”  But we have the mind of Christ.
