When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longin' just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm comin' back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve?
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart, yeah

"The Importance of a Steadfast Heart"
One thing I have seen in ministry is people wanting God because of all what God can do, and not a steadfast heart towards God, they want the blessings of God and not God Himself, Matthew 6:33 seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything shall be added unto you.
​
In 1 Kings 10–13, we witness the rise and fall of King Solomon, known for his wisdom and wealth. However, as time passed, Solomon's heart turned away from the Lord due to his many foreign wives and their idols. The question is, "What is that idol that is occupying your heart or filling your eyes? This serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of guarding our hearts and remaining steadfast in our commitment to God.
​
As Christian we should never compromise, no matter what is at stake, Solomon's downfall began when he allowed compromise to enter his life. He compromised by marrying foreign women who worshipped other gods, leading him astray from the one true God. We must be vigilant and guard against compromise in our own lives, ensuring that we do not compromise our faith and convictions for the sake of worldly desires or influences.
​
We are called to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. It is in wholehearted devotion that we find true fulfilment and experience the abundant life God has for us. Solomon's heart was divided, and as a result, he suffered the consequences.
​
God is forever Steadfast: Despite Solomon's failures, God's grace remained available to him. It is through God's grace that we can experience forgiveness, restoration, and a renewed commitment to Him. No matter how far we may have strayed, God's grace is always sufficient to bring us back into alignment with His will.
​
The story of Solomon serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the importance of a steadfast heart and wholehearted devotion to God. Let us be vigilant in guarding our hearts against compromise, seeking wisdom and discernment in every decision we make. May we continually surrender our lives to God, relying on His grace to lead us on the path of righteousness and fulfilment.
