Service from the Inside Out
David's charge to Solomon emphasizes that true service to God isn't about external actions alone. Commentators explain that a 'perfect heart' means an undivided, whole, and sincere devotion, while a 'willing mind' implies a service that is free and joyful, not forced. This is crucial because God 'searches all hearts,' meaning He sees our true motivations and discerns the sincerity behind our worship.
