Love God Well

Loving God means that we should not take advantage of God Grace.

I learned from today's reading that God is very patient. There was generation after generation of the Israelites serving other gods and it took God a long time before they were put into captivity in Babylon. Israel failed to take advantage of Gods patience. I don't want to be one who takes advantage.

A good parallel to this is when Paul talks about taking advantage of Gods Grace in Romans 6. We are not to take advantage of Gods Grace. It eventually caught up with the Israelites and it will eventually catch up with you. I would argue that if you take advantage of Gods Grace for too long you may not be a Jesus follower because if we love Him why would we keep taking advantage of someone we love?

Loving God well is obeying Him and following Him wholeheartedly. Not worshipping other gods and we all have them and if we are honest with ourselves we know what our idols are that we have to stop worshipping over God.

Love God well and destroy your idols.(anything that takes precidence over God)
