“Hear,
O Israel Deuteronomy 6:4-5 )
How is your love life these days?
I don’t mean your relationship with your spouse—though that is
important—but, I’m speaking to your romance with your Redeemer. How is that?
That relationship is paramount.
That’s what the Old Testament teaches and in the New Testament Jesus
affirmed as the most important commandment.
We may not have a spouse, but we must have a Savior. A good marriage can sweeten our home on
earth, but salvation assures us of a home in Heaven.
Some marriages are struggling—the love life isn’t what it once
was. The hearth at home is cold where
the fire has gone out. Unfaithfulness
will prove destructive. So, may our love
relationship with the Lord diminish and we may find ourselves drawn to the
seductive voice of the world.
Would you be honest today?
How is your love life? Can you
recall a time when you read the Bible with such delight as if gazing upon a
love letter—and now it is rather boring?
Do you remember the joy of spending time in prayer—an hour would race by
so quickly—and now you seem too busy to pray, or it’s just a routine? Can it be that you used to have His songs in
your heart and His name on your lips—pleased to gather with your church family
to celebrate Him—and now you have other things on your mind, and more pressing
matters on your agenda? It can happen, but
it doesn’t have to—guard your heart! If
the romance has faded, it can be rekindled.
Seek His face today! Once more
pledge your love to Him who has given His love to you! Meditate upon His goodness. Look to His Word and listen to His
voice. Get back to the house of God
where you belong!
