How We Should Love God

Scripture Luke 10:27 So he answered and said, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and your neighbor as yourself.’”

Observation: The Bible makes it clear how we are to love God and others, but do we. I have my moments when God is where He should be on the throne of my heart, but those moments are few. Whatever I do my decision should be based on how it honors God and by doing so I will treat others differently, because I’ll be able to see them through God’s eyes.

Application: I need to humble myself first, because until I get out of my own way, I won’t be able to give God the attention He deserves. I will need the help of the Holy Spirit to love God the way He deserves and to love others in a way that will be pleasing to Him. As soon as those are my priorities, I will be able to live the way God deserves.

Prayer My Lord I’m weak, please humble your servant and remind me that is what I am. May I obey every command out of love and praise to You. Holy Spirit be with me today as I walk and honor God it what I do and say.
