Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJV)
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
- “You shall love the Lord” . . . it’s a command; just do it
- “with all” . . . hold nothing back
- “your heart” . . . desire, emotions, feelings
- “with all your soul” . . . inner being; distinct from from the flesh life
- “with all your strength” . . . physical ability; speaks of discipline and self-control
As the new year begins and many make their plans to do better, make your plans to love God. Seek Him with everything you have. He will be found by you.
