"BE STRONG - AND DO IT"
Intro: David's charge before the princes to his young and tender son Solomon.
I. "KNOW THE GOD OF THY FATHER."
A. It is not to know of the God.
1. Many know of God without knowing God.
2. Paul's "that I might know Him and the power."
B. This is to know in a personal way.
1. Through acquaintance and experience and relationship.
2. This knowledge must be first-hand.
C. How is one to know?
1. "If thou seek Him, He will be found of thee."
a. Some stand around waiting to be discouraged.
b. Want God to reveal Himself in some special way.
1. He has! ! ! - in His Son.
2. God has made His move, now it's your turn.
II. "SERVE HIM."
A. Knowing Him must precede serving "Who art thou Lord, that I might serve Thee?"
B. How are we to serve?
1. "With a perfect heart."
a. A heart "completely" towards Him.
b. Not a divided heart.
c. "For the Lord searcheth the hearts."
2. Willing mind.
a. Ready to obey without question.

4. With confidence - "take heed now for the Lord hath chosen thee."
a. Make your calling + election sure.
5. With strength - "be strong." "My God will be with thee." "He will not fail thee." (When God guides, God provides.) God has led me to do this great work for Him, but if you don't send in your support, I can't do it. When God guides, He will see it thru. "He will not fail or forsake until thou hast finished all the work."
6. Serve with purpose - "do it."
a. Don't excuse "a man who is good at excuses."
