Day 36 - Love is God's Word

God's word is a wonder. So many times, the word of God has convinced me of which way to move in my life. And it has always worked.

I have to be honest. Tonight, I am feeling God's urging in a part of my life - but it scares me. I can't even say that it's scary as much as its unknown. And its been a while since I have had to step out on the unknown and really trust God. For a good stretch, about 18 months, my life has been pretty straight forward. I ask God for something or rather God plants something in my spirit and I have been open to being used. Now, God is calling me to do something NEW. He is asking me to step out on him and just trust. He is looking to take us to a new place and frankly, we've gotten comfortable in this place.

His word says in Deuteronomy 6:5-12

⁵ Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. ⁶ These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. ⁷Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ⁸ Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. ⁹ Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

¹⁰ When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, ¹¹ houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, ¹² be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

This is the scripture for this season of my life. I need to:

1. Love the Lord with all of my heart, mind and strength

2. Teach Kendall to do the same

3. Take every occasion to tell others about God

4. When the Lord blesses me, don't forget about Him

The Lord is looking to take us higher and I say, thank you for being so mindful of us. We accept the challenge. I accept it, not because I am afraid of being disobedient, but because I want everything God has for me. I am in a season of prosperity, of health, of joy and of peace. I accept God's blessings for me and my household. In Jesus' name.
