With All Your Heart
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God will all thine heart and with all they soul, and with all thy might” (Deuteronomy 6:5).
When Jesus was asked in the New Testament which is the greatest commandment, He (Jesus) quoted this passage given to the children of Israel. My friend, the greatest love relationship you will ever have is with God (The Lord Jesus). He loved you so much that He died for you, and He will teach us how to love Him back as we continue to walk with Him. Love Him with all your “Heart” (which means your soul). Love God with all your “strength” (give it all you have), which means for us to work on our love relationship with God. “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart” (v.6). Christian friend, I encourage us this morning to take God’s Word and stand firm in the face of demonic forces, in the face of demonic attacks, pledge your allegiance to your love relationship Jesus. And as we learn of Jesus, and as we grow in our relationship with God “And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up” (v.7). God’s Word must be apart of everyday life; as we grow in the depth and richness of God’s Word, we can “diligently” teach our children of God. And, Christian friend, we must teach our children what God is saying about life. We must rely on the Word of God because He will have the final say at the judgment seat. Heavenly Father, I pray for our readers this morning that we would fall in love with your Holy Word and that we would allow your Word to direct our lives and teach our children of “The straight and narrow.” Be Blessed in Jesus’ Name!
