Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Satan verführt uns häufig dazu, das Christentum in einer flachen, zweidimensionalen Weise zu verstehen, nämlich in die Kirche zu gehen und gute Taten zu verrichten. Aber Gott ruft uns zum dreidimensionalen Glauben auf. Er will, dass wir ihn mit unserem ganzen Wesen lieben – in unserem Tun und mit unserer ganzen Kraft.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
So many times the evil one seduces us into a flat, 2-dimensional Christianity — going to church and doing good things. However, God calls us to a three-dimensional faith — one that involves our heart, soul, and strength (body). He wants us to love him with all of our heart, all our inner being, and all of our actions used mightily for him. God wants us completely aligned with his ways, his character, his compassion, and his faithfulness in every facet of our being.
Hear, O [people of God]: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Yes! Three-dimensional faith. Three-dimensional discipleship.
Mein Gebet
Lieber himmlischer Vater, ich verehre dich als den allmächtigen Gott. So sehr schätze ich deine Freundlichkeit und deine Segnungen, die du mir in so großzügiger Weise erwiesen hast. Ich liebe dich, weil du mich in Jesus zuerst geliebt hast. Mein Herzenswunsch ist, dir heute meine Liebe in allem, was ich tue, liebe und sage zu demonstrieren. Durch Jesus, Amen.
My Prayer...
Dear Heavenly Father, I honor you as God Almighty. I appreciate all the kindness and blessings you have lavished on me. I love you because you first loved me in Jesus. I honor you as the universe's Creator and greatest power. I am humbled by the sacrificial and redemptive love you have shared with me in Jesus. I worship you with all I am — heart, soul, and strength — because you are worthy of my worship. Father, my heart desires to demonstrate my love, respect, appreciation, and worship for you in all I love, am, and do. I offer this prayer to you, dear Father, in the mighty name and through the intercession of Jesus. Amen.
