(Nuggets from Deuteronomy 6:5)
The PROSPERITY of the nation Israel, and the BLESSINGS of the Lord upon their land, and in every capacity had a lot to do with Israel UNDERSTANDING and OBEYING the law.
In today's verse, God is speaking to us by extension, as His own Children, and this same condition applies to us as it regards OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD.
TO LOVE THE LORD IS TO FEAR HIM. This fear is not a slavish kind of fear, but one that shows reverence, deep regard and honor, making it difficult for you to disobey or offend Him.
God promised the children of Israel that it would go well with them if they obeyed His laws, and that they would be greatly blessed and increased, such a huge motivation and incentive that no one should find irresistible. Unfortunately, the Israelites still contravened and did otherwise, and they faced the consequences of their actions.
Today, God is beckoning His TRUE CHILDREN to LOVE Him with all their HEART, SOUL and MIGHT; to make a commitment that shows how devoted you are to God.
Loving GOD with all your HEART requires SACRIFICE;
Loving GOD with all your SOUL requires DEVOTION;
Loving God with all your MIGHT, requires INTENTIONAL FOCUS and ATTENTION.
Once you're able to prioritize loving God unreservedly, the promised blessings will be yours.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
