July 21 Devotion

I’m curious this morning that if I asked you what it is that you love, what your answers might be. Obvious answers for those of us that are married would be our spouses. Or if we have children, we would say our kids. Definitely, Barbara and I would say our grandkids too. What about our parents. Maybe distant relatives. Maybe friends. Some of us might love activities that we do. It’s no secret that I love hunting. I love being in the creation enjoying that time. I imagine some of you agree. Others of you might have different things you enjoy or love doing. But let’s take a look at that today. What is it that we love?

I’m asking this today because I want us to understand how important love is. Because love is something that we can build upon. One example of that is…we can build trust upon love. That’s because God is the foundation of love. True love. Let’s remember that God sent his son to be with us. To die for us. Is there a greater love than that? I think not. And since there’s not any greater love than that, then there’s no greater place to put our trust in. We can fully trust God. Because he is our Lord and Savior.

Now, since we can fully trust God, we can fully trust putting our hope and our future in him. And that’s because he knows what lies ahead of us more than we do. He knows our futures. This doesn’t mean that we just sit back and wait for our futures to happen. We must still strive to work daily on serving him. And that includes serving others. It means that our future lies in him if we accept him into our hearts. We let him be our Lord and Savior. It’s our choice. Unfortunately, many of us choose not to accept him. Therefore, they do not put their trust in him. And that leads to no future. I can relate to that. It took paralysis and more for me to finally accept him. So today, let’s work on true love. Let’s work on loving others as God has loved us. But more importantly, over anything else, let’s love God.
