(Deuteronomy 6:5 NKJV) “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
As we’ve now passed into a new year, 2013, there will be millions upon millions of people who have made “resolutions” for the new year, to do this or that. Most New Year’s resolutions aren’t worth the effort it takes to make them, even though some of them are well-intentioned.
The problem is that these resolutions really carry no weight. This is simply because the resolution is made only in a person’s mind. It is not a vow or contract with anyone who gives the person any accountability. And within a few days or a few weeks, most of these resolutions have fallen by the wayside.
But there is something that each and every one of us should vow to do this year. This is not a resolution, but a vow that we should make, in our hearts, toward God himself.
We should vow to love God more than last year. Each day that we wake up and have breath in our bodies we should make more effort to know God, honor, revere and love Him.
This is not something to take lightly. This is the very substance of who He wants us to be and how He wants us to live each day of our lives.
So as we now move into this year of 2013, determine within yourself and then speak it to God so He will hold you accountable, to love Him more than you ever have.
