"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him." 2 Chronicles 16:9
The Lord is eagerly searching for people with hearts wholly reliant on His strength; for hearts that lean on Him, that trust and walk in His way. His ways can sometimes appear intimidating or simply too difficult. But that couldn't be further from the truth. His yoke is indeed easy and His burden, light: for the heart that leans and follows, He will give His strength to.
This lesson was learned the hard way by King David when he first attempted to transport the Ark of the covenant from Kirjathjearim to Jerusalem. By comparing this first attempt with the second (successful) one, we see the blessing and strength that is given when one chooses to walk in the Lord's commandments over their own ways.
