Bible Verse of The Day – 12-15-21

Psalm 18:1-2 (NLT) 1 I love you, Lord; you are my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

It’s not a secret that God called David a man after His own heart. And there is a very good reason for that; because it was true.

David never abandoned God or traded Him in for “other gods”.

Despite his shortcomings as a human being, David loved God deeply throughout his lifetime. That love for God never faltered.

One of the things I find interesting about verse 1 in the scriptures above is that the Hebrew word used for love isn’t the word that’s typically used in most other areas of the Bible.

Most times, the word used for love in the original Hebrew transcripts indicates the concept or idea of covenant.

The word that David used here, however, is a rare form of a word that expresses intimacy. In fact, it actually expresses tender intimacy.

David’s love for God was so intense that he used an uncommon word that more accurately expressed his true passion for his love for God.

This should be the goal of every believer; to love God so intensely that our love can’t be described using normal, everyday words.

If you’re not there right now, don’t feel bad. Don’t get down on yourself. But take the steps to do whatever it takes to make It happen.

Remember, we get out what we put in when it comes to our relationship with God.

So, if loving God intensely is our goal and our desire, let’s take the steps to make it happen.

We will never, ever be sorry.
