We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The best way to destroy an enemy is to turn him into a friend.
F.F. Bruce

Have you ever thought about what it means to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind? I don’t think any of us fully plumb the depths of that commandment, but here are some obvious aspects: 1. Your love for God transcends all other desires (see Exodus 20:3). 2. Like David, you long to gaze upon His beauty and seek fellowship with Him (see Psalm 27:4). 3. You rejoice in meditating on His Word, and, like Jesus, you rise early to pray (Psalm 119:97, Mark 1:35). 4. You always delight to do His will, regardless of how difficult it may be (see Psalm 40:8, NASB). 5. A regard for His glory governs and motivates everything you do – your eating and drinking, your working and playing, your buying and selling, your reading and speaking – and, dare I mention it, even your driving (see 1 Corinthians 10:31). 6. You are never discouraged or frustrated by adverse circumstances because you are confident God is working all things together for your good (see Romans 8:28). 7. You recognize His sovereignty in every event of your life and consequently receive both success and failure from His hand (see 1 Samuel 2:7; Psalm 75:6-7). 8. You are always content because you know He will never leave you or forsake you (see Hebrews 13:5). 9. The first petition in the Lord’s Prayer, “Hallowed be your name,” is the most important prayer you pray (see Matthew 6:9).
