Love for God manifests itself through true obedience to His Word. One translation says that when we “treasure” the Word, it shows that we love God. When you treasure something, it’s valuable to you. You handle it carefully and protect it. When you treasure a relationship with someone, you give attention to them and think about them constantly! How much do you treasure the promises in God’s Word for your life? When you treasure the Word of God, you are expressing your love for Him. You meditate on the Word, thinking about it all throughout the day. Remember, your life will go in the direction of your most dominant thoughts. When your dominant thoughts are the Word of God, you will be empowered to follow all of His commands. Make God’s Word a priority in your life today and allow it to shape your thinking. Let your love for God show in your obedience to Him.

Joel Osteen

I take joy in doing your will, my God, for your instructions are written on my heart. Psalm 40:8
