5/19/09 Deuteronomy 6:4-9

SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you)
Hear, O Isreal, The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5 NAS)
OBSERVATION:
This is from what is known as the Shema. This was a daily prayer of the ancient Hebrews. The prayer is also a call to live a holistic life with God.
APPLICATION:
Loving God with heart, soul and might is not easy. This is full time living with God. This means we are to love God with all we have all the time.
However there is good news here. Sometimes our heart may be sick or sad or our soul bruised. In these times loving God has to be done through actions (with our might). I understanding loving God with all might to mean loving God by doing acts of mercy.
God always will give us a way to show love.
PRAYER:
Lord thank you for loving me and giving me ways to love you with everything I have.
YES
I will love the LOrd with all might heart, soul, and mind.
