Love God with All Your Strength

Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. - Deut 6:5

The video from the BibleProject [1] explains clearly the word 'strength (me'od)' in that bible verse. This bible verse said that we should love God with all our "muchness", meaning with every possibility, opportunity, capacity, ability, and moment in us.

God is with you

From time to time we need to be reminded that God is with us. Many bible verses go in that direction, for example:

  • God said to Moses (Exo 3:12), to Joshua (Jos 1:9), to Gideon (Judg 6:12,16), to His disciples (Mat 28:20)
  • Many people/prophet said that to the people: Moses (Deut 31:6,8), Isaiah (Isa 41:10),  Zephaniah (Zep 3:17), the author of the book of Hebrew (Heb 13:5).
  • By signs and wonders: by the presence of manna, cloud, fire, angels, etc.
  • Holy Spirit is with us: Eze 36:27, John 14:16, 1 Cor 3:16, 2 Cor 13:14.

During my long journeys (eg. long academic studies/processes, in the effort of praying/believing for something), apart from small voices in my heart and from reading the bible, sometimes God gives me small reminders about His companionship. He suddenly answered my simple prayers/wishes (eg. want to have/eat something, want to talk with someone). Then, He said the simple sentence to me "I am with you". This helped me a lot especially when I feel emotionally tired or when I start to doubt (if I did/decided something wrong). 

The God that loves you is with you.
