3-5-08 1 Chronicles 29:17 God Rejoices When He Finds Integrity
1 Chronicles 29:17 (NAS)
Since I know, O my God, that Thou triest the heart and delightest in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Thy people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to Thee.
1 Chronicles 29:17 (NLT)
I know, my God, that you examine our hearts and rejoice when you find integrity there. You know I have done all this with good motives, and I have watched your people offer their gifts willingly and joyously.

In your walk with the Lord, you are beginning to learn the ways of the God. You know through your experience that He will test and try the hearts of men. This examination proves to you and to God where your faith really lies. It is important that you understand what is in your heart and mind. You will find out where you need to incline more towards God and His word. It will help you resolve and determine what changes that you need to make.
The Lord God has revealed that He is pleased with uprightness. You know that He looks upon you with favor since you have been made right through the shed blood of Jesus, His Son. Now He approves of and esteems you, for you walk in a straight way. You do what is right which is your due.
Because you have been changed into a righteous person, your heart is willing to do all that the Almighty God requires of you. Your heart impels you to freely bring offerings unto the Lord and you volunteer for the assignments that come before you.
When others see the evenness, stability, and equity of your life, they, too, begin to bring offerings to God. They desire to live on the same level plain as you, for they have observed that your way is more smooth that theirs. This fact-- that your life is a witness of the Lord's goodness and favor--fills you with great joy and gladness
