Summary of the Bible in 52 Weeks: 5. Remember

 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.

Deuteronomy 6:6 ESV

Moses had just revealed the greatest commandment, according to the LORD Jesus Christ. We're to love God wholeheartedly. He doesn't just want lip service.

With all our hearts, with all our strength, with all our souls, with all our minds, we are to love God. We love, because he first loved us. He gave his beloved, everlasting Son for us and our salvation.

In the words of an old hymn, 'the early dew of morning has passed away by noon'. In other words, we can't just reflect on God's love in morning 'quiet times'. We are to meditate on the love of God 24/7.

We need God to write his words on our hearts. It's not enough to intellectually assent to his word. We're to be wholehearted in our devotion to God.

'Lord our God, may we love you unreservedly, as you deserve. We're so grateful for your immeasurable love for us in Christ, in whose name we pray, amen'.
