Bible Verse of The Day – 6-12-23

Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV) 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

I love my wife. I love her with all my heart.

I also love bass fishing, and I enjoy bike riding.

My love for Bass fishing and bike riding obviously isn’t nearly as strong as my love for Pastor Ellie. Not even close!

But none of these can begin to compare to my love for God.

And this is what God has commanded us to do; to put Him, and our love for Him, before everyone and everything else.

This isn’t something that just happens.

Just as we learn to love our spouse, we must learn to love God.

We don’t learn this overnight. We don’t learn accidentally. And we don’t always learn easily.

It takes time, and it takes effort on our part. It takes persistent, diligent, relentless effort.

No effort equals a bare-minimum relationship with God. A minimal relationship equals frail, feeble love.

Our love for God needs to be strong!

Loving God is something that we must decide in our hearts is our top priority. It’s when we do this that we see things change in our heart.

And when our heart changes, the rest of our life follows suit.

Before we know it, we are beginning to build our lives around God and our love for Him, instead of constantly battling just to find a few spare minutes to try to read His word.

The change comes a little at a time as we continue to relentlessly pursue Him and put Him first.

We encourage everyone reading this to give God your all. Pour yourself into your walk with Him.

Put Him first in everything. Give Him your whole heart.

Watch your love for Him grow and flourish.
