I find my delight in your commandments,
because I love them.
I revere your commandments, which I love,
and I will meditate on your statute.
Psalm 119:47-48 (NVRS)
When we take “our eyes off of ourselves” and look to the “cross,” and then imagine the entire scene of Christ going willingly to “spare” us from eternal fires, and to save us from our sins, to bring us eternal salvation…and His love for us which is beyond the scope of all human comprehension, we can’t help but be moved to tears, and quiver in humble adulation and thanks.
Ephesians chapter 3 ––I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
When we grasp the totality of who Christ is, we are invariably pulled into a vortex of unsurpassed love, and knowledge as we become grafted in the meaning of why He came to earth, why He suffered, why He died…and thankfully, why He was resurrected.
Loving Him, beyond the Sabbath, and keeping that Sabbath in our hearts daily, is inherently the most precious gift we can give Him.
Our love, our obedience, and our dedication barely touch the base of what He did for us and continues to do for us to this very moment in time.
Honoring Him with the capacity of who we are, and what we are, is essentially the basis of our Faith. Loving Him fully, and with a veracity that goes beyond anything else in our lives, is what pleases Him, and what makes us faithful followers.
Accepting Him, in our hearts as our Lord and Savior, and inviting Him in as he knocks on the door wishing to gain entry into our hearts, is single-handedly the greatest honor of a lifetime, and beyond.
Today, and every day, when we put the LORD first in all we do and treat every day as if it were the Sabbath, is a worthwhile goal/act that’s easily attainable, when you get to know Him, seek Him, and open up to His love. I promise you will never get enough of Him or His ways.
Amen!
“My LORD, may I please You today and every day of my life, may I do all that You will for my life, and may I seek You in this journey on earth, today, tomorrow and forever, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
