Psalm 119:2 reads, “Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.” In Psalm 119:2 the psalmist spoke of those who seek the Lord “with the whole heart.” Now, to pursue something “with the whole heart” is to do so wholeheartedly, to do so with all one’s focus, with all one’s commitment, with all one’s priority, with all one’s energy, with all one’s enthusiasm. In fact, throughout this psalm the psalmist speaks six times concerning the pursuit of something “with the whole heart,” and five of those times he is delivering a testimony concerning his own heart and life. So then, from these six references, we find three pursuits wherein we ought to follow the psalmist’s example to pursue them “with the whole heart.”
1. We should seek our Lord’s fellowship with our whole heart. (Psalm 119:2, 10) 2. We should keep our Lord’s Word with our whole heart. (Psalm 119:33-34, 69) 3. We should entreat our Lord’s favor with our whole heart. (Psalm 119:58, 145-147)
