—Deuteronomy 30:11-20
by: Joy Choquette.
What does it really mean to love God? For too many Christians it means putting on our “church face” and trying to be perfect externally…while dealing with secret sins internally. In this passage, we are reminded of the importance of loving God, walking in obedience to Him, and not allowing other gods to take His place. Of course, few of us today would bow to a little golden calf. But God wants more of us than we give to anything or anyone else. He knows what sins we struggle with. Through Jesus, we are promised to be set free from those. God cannot work in our lives and hearts, though, if He is not Lord of every part of our lives.
