—Deuteronomy 13:1-5

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul” (v. 3) is a common verse to memorize, especially in Vacation Bible School. It is a simple command, but how many of us struggle to follow it on a daily basis? God gives us a few tips to make it easier. He instructs us to follow Him, fear Him, keep His commands, listen to His voice, serve Him and cling to Him (v. 4). He also warns us to purge evil from among us (v. 5). If we can follow the steps God has lain out before us, our hearts and souls will show our love for our Heavenly Father.
