Bible Verse of The Day – 2-9-24

Psalm 18:1 (NLT) 1 I love you, Lord; you are my strength.

Our love for God is something that we may not often think about. It is one of those things that just is, so we might not pay much attention to it.

But meditating on, nurturing, and expressing our love for God is important!

God is Spirit. He is not human. So, He does not have an emotional requirement to hear our love expressed.

Despite that, we should express our love for Him. He is the One who breathed the breath of life into our lungs.

And expressing that love for Him also helps us!

It causes us to acknowledge who He is, what He has done for us, how lost we would be without Him.

And here is something else to ponder on.

Is our love for God growing?

In a healthy relationship, our love should never be stagnant or static. It should be constantly developing and growing.

Our relationship with God is no different.

How do we learn to grow our love for God?

We immerse ourselves in Him.

We make the time required to read and study His word.

We purposely give Him praise. And this doesn’t require music, as many might think. We can praise God by simply opening our mouth and speaking the words in our heart, with or without music.

You see, none of this happens by accident. A strong relationship doesn’t just fall into our laps.

It requires work and intentional effort on our part.

But the results (a strong relationship) are worth every bit of the effort. And as we mature, we will see our love growing more each day.

Put Him first in everything. Express your gratitude to Him. Make a conscious choice to do whatever it takes to learn of Him and draw closer to Him. And as we do that, our love for Him cannot help but grow stronger each day.

Let us love Him more tomorrow than we do today.
