Greetings,
God wants our whole heart—not just a part of it. Notice what Jesus said about the heart:
Matthew 22:37-38 – “Jesus said to him, You shall love the LORD your God with ALL your heart, with ALL your soul, and with ALL your mind.’ [38] This is the FIRST and GREAT commandment.”
For the believer, our devotion to God should flow from a heart that’s totally dedicated to Him. The quality of our worship, our faith, our blessings, and daily walk are affected by the degree of our devotion to Him. Israel tried to “mix” their worship of the one true God with other “gods.”
2 Kings 17:33 (NKJV) – “They feared the LORD, yet served their own gods according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.”
Giving their devotion to God, along with “other gods” didn’t work so well for Israel. Neither will it work for you and me. We cannot serve God and this world!
Father, help me to surrender ALL of my heart to You and to love You with ALL of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Let me know the depths of Your Spirit and the secrets of Your Word. I love You so much!
Today, I’m worshiping with Steffany Gretzinger and “The More I Seek You.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
