The Lord Our God Is One

DAY 2 OF 3

Love The Lord WIth All Your Heart.

“And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:5-7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Choose to love the Lord your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, and with all of your strength. When you choose to love the Lord, with all of your heart, you’re choosing to treasure Him with your entire heart. Psalms‬ ‭119:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.” Seek God with your family. Seek God together. Seek God in every season. Seek God with your family. Seek His Way of doing things. Seek, surrender and submit to His Word in every season of life. Let His Word become the bedrock of your family. Let Christ become your Source.

Notice what Psalms 138:1 KJV declares, “I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.” David made a choice to praise God with all his heart. He chose to exalt God above all of the gods of the world. Although other nations around David served other gods, he chose to serve God. Although others may serve other gods, idols, images, and treasures of this world — make a conscious decision to serve the True and Living God. 

Psalms‬ ‭119:127‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.” Choose to honor God above riches, honor, and the treasures of this world. Exodus‬ ‭20:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Choose to submit to and surrender yourself wholeheartedly to God. Let no other god reign on the throne of your heart.

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:5-7‬ ‭NLT declares‬‬, “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” Commit yourself to serve God. Choose to repeat and rehearse God’s Word in the ears of your family. Choose to rehearse what God is saying within the heart of your family. Choose to reflect Christ both in private and in public. Choose to set and establish the generational path. Choose to be an example. Choose to serve and honor Christ in every area of your life.
