OUR WHOLE POWER

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

These are the ordinances and the judgments the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the desert, when they came from the land of Egypt: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. You shall love the Lord your God from your whole heart, from your whole soul, and from your whole power. So these words I command you today shall be in your heart and in your soul. You shall teach them to your sons, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be immovable before your eyes; and you shall write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.

Personal Challenge

Where do we get our power and strength to make it through every day of our lives? From the word of God. What is the word of God and where do I find it? We can get a lot of the word of God from our written Scriptures, however, that is just a small portion of God's word. God speaks to us through His creation, through His church, but most importantly, His Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. If we want to live a full and righteous life then we must pursue our God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit with our whole power, our whole heart, and our whole soul. Being a child of God means total surrender to Him and total immersion in His loving ways and commandments. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
