Hear
me! Our God; the only God, is the Lord. He is your Lord and your God. Love Him
with all your emotion and intellect. Love Him with everything you are and all
you can do. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)
Think
of a time when you made a big decision; one that would require a great portion
of your resources (time, energy, money). A big investment, or an all-consuming
business deal may come to mind. Maybe you are thinking of a huge personal
commitment to a spouse or family member. Did you take that decision to God? Did
you ask for what He wanted, rather than asking Him for what you wanted?
Moses
explains here that God expects to entirely consume your attention. With this
explanation, there is no room for you to reserve any portion of your life.
Moses also says that God expects to be your motivation for everything you do
and everything you are. Again, there is no allowance for you to see any part of
your life as a place where God does not control your actions.
Tell
God today that you want Him to consume your thoughts and control your actions.
If you are serious, He will do it.
