Bible Verse of The Day – 9-13-19

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.

Where is God?

That might sound like an odd question. Let me clarify. Where is God in your life? Where is He in my life?

Is He the number one priority in our lives? Or does He fall somewhere lower than number one?

The answer to that question will tell us a lot. It will tell us where our heart lies. It will tell us a little about the path we’re on. And it might tell us a little about why certain things happen to us, good or bad.

You see, God has told us to love Him with everything in us; all our heart, all our soul and all our strength. That’s a lot of love directed toward Him. This pretty much means to love Him with every little bit of who we are.

It can’t be half. It has to be all. Jesus also stated this when He said to seek first the kingdom of God.

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

There’s something about loving Him above all other people and all other things that changes us. It changes the way we think. It changes the way we act. It changes the direction that our lives go.

More than all of that, it changes our destiny. If we love Him above all else, it will alter everything about us.

It takes effort to do this. A conscious effort. But it’s worth every bit of work required. The rewards are beyond comprehension, now and forever.
